Santa Mittens Sweater Upcycle


Good day!

So do yall have a huge pile of things waiting to be upcycled, like I do?  Oye!  I have so many sweaters that don't fit me anymore for whatever reason, and this one just hollered at me that IT WAS READY TO BE NEW AGAIN:


Sodenote: this little girl is SUCH a ham in front of the camera these days!  I love it!

So this sweater is from Old Navy.  I got a Large Tall - I wanted it to be long and oversized for maximum coziness.  This is what it looked like before:


This is literally how it came - with one arm about 4 inches longer than the other.  WTFON?!

After trying to wear it a few times (lol yeah, I wore it a few times), into the upcycle pile it went. It's got sparkly threads running through it - I couldn't throw it out!  C'mon!

So to the chop shop that is my dining room table it went.  I cut all the seams, and then cut raglan sleeves (of identical size.... ahem).  I didn't take any length off, and luckily it hits her right above her knees!  Win!


Then, even though the sparkly bits were cute, it still needed something.  It was just a little too plain.  Wearable and darling, but just plain.

Enter: Santa mittens!  I used super soft red wool felt, and black pompom trim, and just freehanded the mitten shape:


I didn't even sew them on - I used fabric glue.  So fast and so easy!

Emmy loves it.

LOVES.  IT.



Mittens!


One old crappy sweater is new again, and one sweet little lady is pleased as punch!  Huzzah!

I'm totally going searching in my upcycle pile to see what else I can redo.  These sweater dresses are just so perfect for the winter months.  :)

Have you guys upcycled anything lately?  Leave me a link, I want to check'm out!


Happy Sunday, peeps.

Snowman Hand-print Ornamenahahahaaaa!


Good Tuesday to you all!

I have been away from this blog'o'mine for quite a bit, eh?!  I am starting to feel the itch again, and I hope to be back here much more often now.  Mojo's rising.  :)

SO!  Check these babies out: 




Ha!  Do you love them as much as I do?!?!

I saw this adorable tutorial on the Pinterest's a few weeks ago, and thought it would be awesome to do with Emmy - quick, fun, and I already had everything on hand to make them.


So silly cute, hers are!

HOWEVER.
We made six and only one ended up being usable as anything close to resembling Snowmen!  Emmy was alllll about schmearing the paint all over the ornaments but it was just so funny and cute, I didn't put up too much of an argument.  She's not even three after all.  ;)

If I do these again, which I think I will - I really love them! - I will do it a little differently.  In the tutorial, the pictures show the ornament sitting the palm of the child's hand, and then they close their hand up around the ornament... I think next time I will hold the ornament upside down and like, roll Emmy's hand over top of it.  That make any sense?

Some of the others... 


Disembodied Snowmen!


Melting Snowmen!


SAW SUPER CUTE TODDLER-PARENT CRAFT ON PINTEREST:



NAILED IT:

Lolz.
Have a good day!
