3 DIY Holiday Gifts Made From Thrifted Sweaters

Sweater Mug Cozies

Transform thrifted sweater fabric into a handmade mug cozie! Use a zigzag stitch to secure the knit, then finish the edges with ribbon or fabric trim.

Want to make it extra merry? Add buttons, felt or your favorite festive accents. Just add a thrifted mug and make holiday gifting uniquely yours.

Sweater Oranaments

Give a thrifted old sweater a cozy new look. Wrap thrifted ornaments in sweater fabric to create one-of-a-kind holiday decor that feels warm, and festive. Simply cut your sweater fabric to fit, secure it around the ornament with glue and add your own finishing touches! A little thrift. A little creativity. Holiday decor Re-Made By You.

Sweater Stockings

Start with a stocking you already own as your pattern. Lay it on your thrifted sweater and cut two matching shapes, leaving a little extra fabric around the edges for your seam. Place the pieces together with the sweater’s finished sides facing inward, then sew around the sides and bottom, leaving the top open. Turn it right-side out and add a loop of ribbon or fabric for hanging.

Make it your own with buttons, felt, ribbon or other festive finds. Then hang it by the fireplace, and  fill it with treats!

Thrift & Gift

See how you can reimagine thrifted treasures into creative, one-of-a-kind gift baskets made especially for the people on your list.
