Ugly Sweaters Make Pretty Pillows
That sounds like the start to some strange nursery rhyme doesn't it?!
Well, I have been up to my ears in pillows for the past several weeks. I received a large custom order for sweater pillows after they had seen this post on my blog from last year about making pillows from felted sweaters. And you may have caught my post a couple of weeks ago showing off the first batch of pillows here.
The requirement for this order was that the pillows look comfy, cozy, wintery, and be in all shades of creams, hunter greens, burgundy, browns, or ANYTHING that looks wintery or holiday-ey. Ever since then I've been on the hunt for sweaters sweaters sweaters!
Sweaters that are horrendous on the hanger often make cute pillows! It's because they are so much cuter in a smaller dose!
After seeing about the Pillow Challenge on CSI on Tatertots & Jello I had to link up!
I hope you're inspired to go through your closet and give some of those old winter sweaters new life!
This is brilliant! I'll be heading out to Goodwill in search of bad sweaters just for this! Great idea!!
