NOTE: Wrap a small piece of cellophane or masking tape around the jute end to make threading it through the drinking straws easier.

Use a 3/4" flat brush and Snow White to paint the entire mitten shape.
Use a #12 flat brush and Sand Grey to paint around the snowflake and mitten cuff.
Use a #2 round brush and Crystal Craft Twinkles to paint inside the snowflake and on the mitten cuff.
Measure and cut the jute into the length needed for the garland. Use scissors to cut straws into thirds. Thread four straw sections onto the jute and then a mitten. Repeat with the number of mittens desired.
Make yarn pom-poms: Roll yarn into two large balls. Match strands of each ball together. Wrap around your hand approximately 100 times.
Carefully remove from your hand from inside the yarn and use another piece of yarn to tie the ball tightly in the center.
Use scissors to cut the yarn loops.
Use scissors to trim into a ball. Make several pom-poms.
Center a pom-pom between each mitten and tie onto the jute.
Hang the garland. The mittens and pom-poms should slide easily, if you need to adjust their positions.
