Dollar Tree Oven Mitts Make The Perfect Cozy Winter Decor

Looking for some cozy winter décor ideas that are as frugal as they are adorable? We've got you covered with another creative Dollar Tree DIY. This time, we're using a rather unconventional focal point: oven mitts. With a few embellishments, you can transform a pair of Cotton Kitchen Linens oven mitts from Dollar Tree into a cute hanging decoration to celebrate all things warm and cozy this winter.

The discount store is always a go-to for seasonal DIY supplies, and we love bringing winter indoors with adorable Dollar Tree craft ideas that your guests will rave over all season long. While Dollar Tree's seasonal aisles are an endless source of inspiration, its household staples also come in handy when it comes to decorating, like transforming a laundry basket into a Christmas tree or making DIY jumbo-sized holiday bells from plant pots. Using a pair of oven mitts and jute, along with some winter faux foliage and berries, you can make a quick and simple DIY project that will spruce up your winter décor.

First, pick out your oven mitts. YouTuber @Whiskey&Whit used red ones, creating a Santa's mittens look for her design, but you can choose just about any color for this project. Dark tones and neutral shades, like green, blue, white, cream, gray, and black, will all give cozy winter vibes, so go with whatever works best with your existing décor.

Once you're ready to assemble your mittens, simply fold up the opening of each oven mitt to make them a bit shorter. Then, hot glue or sew some cute knitted ear warmers, like the Rongxi Head Warmer Headband, around the bottom of the mitts for stylish cuffs. To make your winter accessory extra snug, stuff them with old newspaper or any scrap paper to give them a nice plump look. You can also use an old t-shirt or packing peanuts — whatever you have on hand. Next, fill the opening with winter greenery and flowers, like the Artificial Amaranth Floral Arrangement or Artificial Green Foliage Bushes from Dollar Tree.

Now, all that's left is to hang your mittens using jute for a cozy, rustic finishing touch. For a secure hold, thread the jute through the oven mitt using an upholstery needle and then tie a strong knot on the inside. Feel free to swap the jute for ribbon or yarn to further customize this DIY. Finally, hang the mittens anywhere you need a dash of seasonal delight around your house to achieve a stylish, cozy winter home aesthetic.
