Creative Sweater Crafts

December 5, 2013  Best Of | Uncategorized

 

16 Creative Sweater Crafts - for house and wardrobe!  kellyelko.com

I’ve always wanted to throw an ugly sweater party.

Scour the thrift shop for cast off misfit sweaters that nobody wants.

 

But there are so many more fun ways to reuse old sweaters.

Why not take those abandoned sweaters and turn them into some of the coolest sweater crafts for house & wardrobe.

 

Christmas

Even someone as seriously sewing challenged as me might just be able to make this adorable embroidery hoop sweater from The Lily Pad Cottage.

All that’s missing from these cute sweater snowman from Domestically Speaking are the corn cob pipes.

What’s better than the gift of wine?  The gift of wine wrapped up in a cute sweater wine bottle gift bag from Oh My Creative.

Santa will hurry down the chimney to get his hands on these sweater pillows that The Everyday Home stitched together.

So head on out to the nearest thrift shop and scoop up all the sweaters you can load into your cart.

 

I believe that creating simple projects = more time for margaritas!
