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?

Those are adorable. You wool woman!! Are you going to use those for your tree this year?
stopping over from TWOC. I Love these...I just saw them at a craft show this weekend, and am so glad I didn't buy one, I can make my own. Looks like something I can have my girls make with me. Thanks for this post and idea.
These are lovely--so creative!
These are super cute. I love the felted wool look.
I've just started felting old sweaters and repurposing them...this is a great way to use up the scraps. Really cute!

Love this idea! What a great way to use old wool sweaters. I am gonna check out your other wool projects.
Stopping by from the Parade of Ornaments over at Censational Girl.
I love these. Even smaller they would be adorable as napkin rings.
I 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 !
Thanks for linking

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