Upcycled Wool Sweater Purse
Have a favorite sweater you just cannot throw away? Or did you pick one up at a Thrift Store that you really like, but you know you will never wear? Upcycled or recycled clothing and accessories is an effective means to using the items you do not want to toss...recreated into something unique and usable at the same time.
Over the Holidays I took the opportunity to take a old men's wool sweater and upcycled it into a fun purse! These are the results....
Using the left over material from the sleeves, I made large flowers and leaves on the front of the bag. Simple, easy, and one-of-a-kind, this is one project that does not take up too much time, but leaves you with a fun, wearable accessory.
