Deb's Original Sweet Sweater Pumpkin TUTORIAL
Do you have a pile of striped sweaters that your kids have outgrown?Maybe a soft cashmere cardigan that has a hole in it?Up-cycle those useless items into FABULOUS fall decor, and make sweater pumpkins out of them!
I've made my NO-SEW tutorial available on my website, HOMEWARDfoundDecor.com, so you can make your OWN versions in colors that reflect your home's decor. Click the link to order - just $5 for a step by step tute with photos and tips!
Here's how my now -famous pumpkins came to be:Way back in 2007, I couldn't bear to throw out some of my favorite fall sweaters. I just HAD to find a use for them ( it's my schtick, to re-use stuff!) - and I came up with the idea and process for creating my original design Sweet Sweater Pumpkins. I posted them on my blog (Hummadeedledee), they went viral, and I have been making and selling them ever since. My Original Sweet Sweater Pumpkins are now available for sale on my website, HOMEWARDfoundDecor.com, as well as from select retailers.
