Here is an easy Christmas craft idea...
Another wool project...sorry about my current obsession, but aren't they cute?I love these wreaths...the smaller ones are about 4 inches in diameter, the larger ones 5".
First I went through my felted wool sweater collection and cut 1" squares from all sorts of colors. Then I just strung them together with either quilting thread or around 20G wire.....I used 50 squares for the smaller wreath and 60 for the larger one. Then I just tied the wire or thread together. I used a tutorial here from Alpha Mom.
That site has some great ideas!
Aren't they nice?

Love this idea! What a great way to use old wool sweaters. I am gonna check out your other wool projects.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Parade of Ornaments over at Censational Girl.
I love these. Even smaller they would be adorable as napkin rings.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will come by and see the ornaments I made: pearl encrusted star, crystal and button ball and an anthro inspired tree topper.
Oh my, I wish you'd make me one slightly larger so I could wrap it around my neck and stay cozy.... These are absolutely charming and truth be told I got a little teary cause my mom made a few similar to this when I was a kid. Sadly, she threw them away years ago, and I wish I had a few to treasure now. May yours be treasures for years to come !
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking

Those are so fun! The more color, the better :).
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I'd love to find various shades of green sweaters to do this with! :)
