Christmas Crafts

I finally made a to-do project this Christmas season. Using this pillow tutorial and some thrifted sweaters I whipped up some winter pillow covers and there will likely be more to come as I have been obsessed with cable knit anything for a while. Then, after some holiday shopping and outrage at Target that their cable knit tree decorations were almost 20 bucks, I used the sleeves of the sweaters to make some of my own.

For the trees I stuck some styrofoam tree forms into the sleeve of the sweater and pulled the sweater tight around it and trimmed it to the shape I wanted. Then I sewed down one side and tucked and glued the rough edge under.
