Not So Ugly Christmas Sweater Ideas –
10 Upcycled Sweater Projects
1 || Sweaters Pillows, from Tidbits. An inexpensive and easy way to take an un-loved sweater and turn it into a cozy pillow for your home.
2 || Sweater Leggings, from It’s Always Autumn. A great way to keep your daughter’s legs warm this winter!
3 || Sweater-Wrapped Presets, from Just a Girl. The entire home tour is gorgeous, but the fireplace with these wrapped presents are perfection!
4 || Sweater Snowman, from DIY Beautify. Grab some sweater sleeves and make these cheeky little snowmen. (Aren’t they darling?!)
5 || Knitted Baby Hats, from Make It and Love It. The bottom of a sweater makes the perfect brim of a hat!
6 || Sweater Dress, from Make It and Love It. No hemming involved! Use the original sweater bottom for the dress and cuffs for the sleeves.
7 || Coffee Cozy, from Lemon Tree Dwelling. A cool, stylish way to drink your warm winter beverage!
8 || Wrist Warmers, from Craftaholics Anonymous. All you need to make these is an old sweater, scissors, tape measure, and a sewing machine.
9 || Sweater-Covered Lamp Shade, from A Cultivated Nest. Bring a wintery, yet cozy feel, to your living room. (I seriously LOVE this idea!!!)
10 || Recycled Sweater Headwrap, from Ruffles And Stuff. Made from a hand-me-down sweater that didn’t fit, it only has 3 steps, and hardly a stitch sewn! (She also has a super cute upcycled sweater cowl scarf too! Be sure to have a look!)
So there you have it!

Gosh am I SO sorry I purged my old sweaters!!!! NEVER getting rid of ANYTHING anymore because who knows what it could be used for? That's it…I'm officially becoming a hoarder. So great – love it. On my way to Goodwill to get more sweaters. ;o)
These are some great frugal and at the same time stylish ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Love the wreath and the pillows look so comfy!
The sweater shoes are very unusual… very good idea. THanks for finding that one… Will have to give that a try.
Haha – I guess I was reading your mind when I posted about my sweater pillows yesterday! But I didn't do anything with the sleeves – I might have to try something out! Thanks for sharing
I love the sweater boots. What a great tutorial. I've gotta go make some right now. Thanks for sharing.
