After making the rocket man hat I decided to take a look around and see what other projects I could find for some of my felted sweaters and felt scraps.
Sharing a few of my favourite tutorials here:
From Alli at One Pearl Button the Sweater to Long Mittens and Cloche Hat tutorial.
From Not Dabbling in Normal the Wool Sweater Bag tutorial.
From Made the Child’s Sweater Vest.
From the Prairie Girl the Recycled Sweater Vase tutorial.
From Thrillingly Thrifty a tutorial for Wool Sweater Slippers.
From Night Owl’s Menagerie, Wool Dryer Balls.
And although it isn’t a tutorial, a sweet blogging friend of mine posted her version of the rocket man hat and some perfect-for-little-hands felt mittens here – I think the toggles are genius!
If you are not into making, these shops have some sweet items made with upcycled sweaters.
Hope you find some inspiration! Looking through these did the trick for me – I have some newly thrifted sweaters to show off in an upcoming post!
Have you tried crafting with felted sweaters? Any tip, tricks or projects to share?
I used to craft more with felted sweaters but haven’t done it in a while… I made my kids felted slippers with the sleeve cuff around the ankle and some puffy paint on the bottom to keep them from slipping. Those were so much fun.
Have you been to my blog? I [try to] post a recycled sweater tutorial every Tuesday, and love to feature great recycled wool artisans & crafters.
