How to Recycle an Old Sweater to Make a Christmas Ornament

DIY's· Holidays

29 Oct

Today, I am recycling an old sweater to make a beautiful Christmas Ornament. Of course, I am so excited to show you how. But first, I want to remind you, there is a quick video you can watch. Make sure to click the link below to view it!

Now, let’s get a supply list!
  • Hot glue gun
  • Ribbon/trim
  • Glitter/diamond dust
  • Marker
  • Scissors
  • Stuffing

Firstly, recycling an old sweater, I traced a mitten out and cut it. I then, hot glued it together to form the mitten and stuffed it into the mitten. Afterwards, I simply put some winter greenery inside. This is sort of a miniature version of the oven mitt bouquets I have made, except it’s a mitten for winter!

Secondly, I made two bows that I layered on top of each other. It created this really amazing bow that I glued onto the mitten to make it shabby chic. The next way I used recycling an old sweater, was to make this poinsettia you see. To do this, I traced poinsettia leaves out and cut them from the sweater. Afterwards, I repeated a similar pattern to how I made the mitten. I glued the leaves halfway and then added stuffing. The next thing I did was add trim to the leaves to give them some definition. Finally, I added three pom-poms to the center and twisted some silver tinsel/pipe cleaner to created the stem.

Thirdly, I added a strap onto the back of the mitten to allow for hanging and put it on my tree. As you can see, I have a few other ornaments hanging here, that you also may have seen in the quick video. The blog post tutorials for these will be out soon. So, with that said, follow along on the blog to see more! Make sure you’re also following us on social media, I post content on different platforms.
