Vintage Sweater to Valentine's Day Wreath

From the blogger: "Make a simple but beautiful Valentine's Day Wreath using an old felted sweater. This Vintage Sweater to Valentine’s Day Wreath tutorial will show you how to upcycle a sweater into a gorgeous decoration. Shrink a red sweater by washing it in hot water and drying it on high (may take more than one try). Cut it into strips and wrap a wreath form, overlapping at each turn. Embellish with store bought flowers or make some of your own. This wreath was made with a Sizzix Big Kick die cut machine and some pretty pearls for the center were attached."

This is such a great wreath idea! I love projects like this that turn old things into something amazing like this. I am thinking if you do not have any old sweaters, you could visit the local thrift store and look for some. You could get some in different colors for other holidays, and make a wreath for every season!
