Cozy Wreath


I was about to give these sweaters a new home to the second hand store & realized the sleeves would work great for this Valentine's Day Wreath.


Start with this foam wreath(12 inches)


1-Cut through the foam wreath


2-Cut all the sleeves (& cuffs) off of the sweaters.


3-Its so cute, now I want to wear this as a sweater vest (I just need to sew the cut edges)


4-Place 1 sleeve with the right side facing inside the other sleeve that is wrong side facing & sew.


5-Keep doing this until it forms a long "tube".


6-After turning the tube inside out, inch the sweater sleeve tube onto the foam wreath. Apply a dab of glue to adhere the ends together. (I used 2 inch painters tape to hold it together while the glue dries).


7-Whip stitch the open ends together.


8-On the back side apply a few dabs of glue & straight pins to hold the sweater tube in place.


Ready to hang!
