DIY Friday - Old Sweaters

My daughter has recently gotten into thrifting, and when she was in town we spent a couple of days shopping at Savers and Goodwill. She found lots of great stuff, and her finds inspired today's DIY post. Check out these amazing ideas you can do with old sweaters.

    I saw a really cute doggie bed on Pinterest, made from a sweater that was stuffed and the arms sewn together at the cuffs.

    Love the hat and mittens! These are such great ideas for upcycling. My kids love to recycle/upcycle candy wrappers and make fun things. =0)

    Great ideas! I love the dog toys. Thrift shops are the best places to find fabrics to work with. It is amazing the quality you can find at such low prices! Now if only I could sew!!!

    Great post! I love the idea of up-cycling old sweaters. I've been thinking of making a sweater into a pillow and now I'm even more motivated.
    Happy New Year!
