Sweaters, recycled.

I came across a great post on Apartment Therapy a couple days ago about recycled sweaters (found here). I really loved some of the ideas and it prompted me to look into more lovely recycled d.i.y ideas. Here are a couple of my favorite:

(from Apartment Therapy)
Bright and frilly accent pillows (I'm majorly swooning over these!!)
Faux Taxidermy= Fully Awesome.

Red bird on repurposed wool sweater purse
From sweater..to winter handbag, brilliant!

Pine Tree Advent Forest
Um, this is the cutest little pine forest I ever did see! (Instructions here.)

Tabletop Tree
Table top tree, precious.

poinsettia brooch
Felted Poinsettia Brooch....Tutorial: here.


The possibilities for re-purposing sweaters are endless...go ahead and google it. There are so many crafty people doing awesome recycled things! It really makes me wish I had more sweaters to get rid of :)

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Wednesday. Tomorrow I will be posting a sneak peek of lots of new vintage goodies headed to our online shop.
Ta ta 'til then!!

  1. I made the green sweater bag with the red bird on it in this blog. Would be nice if you mentioned where you found this picture. My etsy shop is turnupgreen.etsy.com

  2. I don't blame you, turnupgreen. First of all, it makes me crazy when people post other people's items and don't provide a link. RUDE. Secondly...it's your BUSINESS, for heaven's sake. Come on...give us links! It's the right thing to do.
