I’ve had this green cable knit sweater for many, many years. I loved the color, but it was time for it to go. I just love making beautiful new creations from old sweaters- boot socks, scarves, fabric flowers. Someday I’ll get around to posting tutorials for everything I’ve made from my old sweaters. Now I can add a festive Christmas wreath to my list of new uses for old sweaters!
I cut the two front panels off the sweater. I wrapped the cable knit fabric around a foam wreath form and used a little hot glue to secure the fabric to the back of the wreath. 
The seams where the two panels of fabric joined were easily hidden- one at the top of the wreath (behind the hanger) and the other behind the decorations I added to the bottom portion of the wreath.
I picked up some lovely glittered pinecones and jingle bells at Target the other day for a few dollars. My daughter loved the jingle bells so much I had to wait until her nap time to get them away from her. The gray and white felt flowers I had leftover from an earlier project. You can find the tutorial here. A few dabs of hot glue to add the bells, pinecones and flowers and I was done.
I love how my wreath turned out! Not too bad for an old sweater and 10 minutes of work. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Fabulous idea! Pinned and tweeted. Lou Lou Girls
