This article in Country Living has caused a craze of sweater-covered vases. Their directions call for hot-glue and measuring and whatnot. I’m just not ready for that kind of commitment to my vases.
Plus, I don’t have tons of vases lying around anyway.
I do have glasses. And bowls. And sweaters. Tons of sweaters. Two trash bags full of old sweaters that my mom gave me last weekend.
I just cut the sleeve of of one sweater (The purple one I used to make Abby’s hat yesterday.) slipped it around a beer mug, and scrunched it up. Then I stuck a flameless candle inside. Done. I’m not bothering to glue it.
I also wrapped a bowl in sweater material by cutting off the neck of a turtle neck sweater (The brown one I used for Nick’s hat), wrapping it around the outside of the bowl and tucking the extra fabric inside. Then I added some dead twigs from the back yard and anther flamelss candle.
The woven balls are from Goodwill and the ceramic pumpkins are from the Dollar Tree.
Ta-da, trendy fall decorations.
That’s a really smart idea!
