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!



Want a fun and different way to welcome your guests? You don't have to sew a stitch to create my NO-SEW SWEATER WREATH. It's super easy and inexpensive, too! And check out the flowers...

...also made from sweaters! You will find the directions for these felted wool flowers HERE. Be sure to check out the tutorial for the BURLAP FLOWERS as well.

Want to add a warm glow to your home? Try my MASON JAR SWEATER CANDLES...sure to warm up your winter nights!

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

Did you know that you can upcycle sweaters to create Christmas stockings? I added a few small ones to my POTTERY BARN INSPIRED STOCKING PILLOW. Or by creating mittens you could give the pillow a life beyond Christmas!

And here's one you might want to save for fall....my EASY SWEATER PUMPKINS! They require only minimal sewing and last from year to year unlike real pumpkins!

Not feeling crafty? Keep an eye out for sweater ornaments at Christmas and stock up! I found a collection of heart-shaped cuties half-price at a fabric store several years ago and added them to my FARMHOUSE VALENTINE CENTERPIECE...

...to my RUSTIC VALENTINE WREATH...

...and to my FARMHOUSE VALENTINE MANTEL! And stay tuned because I am currently working on another fun way to use sweaters. Hint...think snowballs!

Remember to pin it!
