Disney from Ruffles and Stuff kindly made an adorable project for the boys in the crowd (as a mom of 3 sons, I am very excited!). She found a sweater vest at the dollar store (check your Dollar Trees for their random bins o' sweaters right now), and transformed it into this adorable owl beanie and coordinating scarf. So cute, and super simple! Pretty sure my sons will want this when they see it! If you don't have any sweaters at your dollar store, this is a natural project for an old sweater you already have in the back of your closet, or one you find at the thrift shop.

Project Estimate:

  • Sweater, $1 or on hand
  • Felt, on hand

Total: $1
