Supplies

  • Thick-gauge wire
  • 3 to 5 old sweaters
  • Good fabric scissors
  • Ribbon

Instructions

  1. Cut squares and triangles out of the sweaters (it’s okay if they’re uneven).
  2. Bend the wire into the shape of a wreath, with a loop at one end. Thread the knitted squares onto the wire, until 1 inch of wire remains. Feed the wire end through the loop, and twist to close. Finish off with a large bow.
