Sweater Upcycle Christmas Tree Decor
This is such an easy and thrifty Christmas craft. All you need to get started is some old sweaters and a paper mache cone. Get ready to craft!
Are you looking for an easy Christmas craft that is also inexpensive, and no sew? You'll love these no sew sweater Christmas trees. Before you start, gather your supplies. You'll need a sweater, paper mache cone, scissors and hot glue gun.
First, Cut a piece of your sweater to fit your paper mache cone. Use your cone to measure the amount of fabric you will need, just like you are wrapping a present. Roll the cone onto the sweater until it is covered with fabric, then measure and cut the amount.
If your sweater has different fabric textures, wrap your cone in a few spots to see what the different textures look like!
Lay your cone on your fabric so it faces a corner of the fabric. Then, tuck the top of the fabric over the cone and glue it into place.
Glue along the side of your cone where the sweater meets it. Then, begin to roll your sweater onto the cone, taking care to tuck and tighten the fabric as you go.
Cut the extra fabric off and glue the other edge of sweater to the cone. Tuck the fabric into the bottom of the cone, and glue inside as well.
That's it! Leave them plain for a simple look or add pom poms and tinsel for decoration. I love how simple these are. An easy and fun holiday craft!
