Make Your Own Fall Wreath From a Goodwill Sweater

When I think of fall, I think of cooler weather, sweaters, autumn leaves and flowers. This wreath encompasses all those elements.
Lucky for me I had all the materials on hand. Especially the XL cable knit sweater that I picked up at Goodwill thinking I could make sweater vases out of it.
I have the full materials list and instructions on the blog post, link below the photos.
You only need the sleeves of the sweater, so cut them off and put right sides together.
Stitch the ends together (try to line up the stripes or cable knitting.) Trim off any excess.
Preheat the hot glue gun. Lay the wreath form on top of the sweater material.
Make sure you get the full instructions on the blog to make it easier.


Realistically, this is the backside of the wreath, but if you have a see through door like I do, you will want to roll under your raw edges to hide the seams.
Hot glue some leaves onto the wreath covering one of the seams.
Then add some flowers. And more leaves, and more flowers, until you have burned your fingers to smithereens!
Tie ribbon to the loop to give your wreath a more “substantial” bow.


Now you have a warm and 'fuzzy' wreath for Fall!
