I’m on a sweater re-purposing kick lately. Today I made dinosaurs so that I would have a boy-friendly gift to add to my no-spend Christmas gifts collection.I started by drawing some simple patterns for myself.
Then I traced them onto some old sweaters.(I used two different sweaters in contrasting colors)
I followed basically the same procedure as I did with the crabs.
Ta-Da!Super easy and cute. 🙂
Best of all, FREE.
Or I could have paid $26 each for this dinosaur at Restoration Hardware. (except he’s not in stock anymore) I do like the different fabrics they used though, maybe I’ll copy that idea next time.
But by not paying $52 for two toy dinosaurs, I brought my no-spend Christmas total saved to $246.
What a great knock-off!! Love yours! 🙂 These would be a super-cute Christmas gift for a little person. Thanks so much for joining the party. 🙂
I think these are SO cute! And I love your idea of a “no spend” holiday!

Happy weekend!
