DIY winter white cable knit sweater upcycled into 4 holiday design ideas

Start with a sweater you can't use anymore. I found this one for $4.99 at a second hand store. Cut pieces as shown.
1. Using different size bottles, slip the cut sweater on and arrange! You have a set of three winter white cable knit vases to display throughout the winter! Total cost less than $5.00

2. Using the largest part of the sweater, use to cover a large flower pot and fill with your favorite greenery or holiday lights! No cost, used and existing flower pot.






3. Cut the cowl neck portion off the sweater, Using strings of yarn tie knots across the front to create a cool fringe infinity scarf! Total cost $5.00 for the yarn.


Above is a Pottery Barn winter white sweater pillow cover that costs $59, and that is just for the cover! You still have to buy the pillow insert!

Below you will see how you can make a very similar pillow with the upcycled sweater, a pillow insert you already have and some embroidery thread and needle! Super easy! Just insert the pillow and sew the ends! Cost a few dollars!

Add finished pillow to your sofa and you have a warm cozy look for the holidays!
