Six Easy Ways to Upcycle a Sweater

Winter is definitely here and it's time for my favorites...sweaters, hot chocolate and snow days! And... it's time to add that warm and cozy feeling to my décor as well! The easiest and least expensive way to do that? Gather up your favorite old sweaters or hit the thrift store and you have almost all that you need! Here are my favorite six ways to upcycle sweaters!

Of course, you will want to include a SWEATER PILLOW in your winter décor! It doesn't get much easier...or snugglier... than this!

  1. Thank you for this. I saved two of my husband's sweaters when he passed away, hoping to be able to do something special with them. The pillow is the answer.
