Check it out! I'm guest-posting today over at Dabbled, with a tutorial on how to make quick mittens out of a felted sweater. Click over to find out how!

You can find sweaters a-plenty at your local thrift stores, and I have seen loads of random clothing at my local Dollar Tree stores lately. There might be a wool sweater among them!

Project Materials:

  • Felted sweater, on hand
  • Scissors
  • Sewing stuff (sewing machine & thread)
  • Paper and pen

Total: FREE and up

    A few years back 100% wool sweaters were easy to find at thrift stores but today they are few and far between.
