"Neat idea! Something so simple that pretty much anyone can do it, with no previous experience necessary. This is great for youth group crafts and other young people groups. Also great for selling at craft fairs. Jersey tees would make such a luscious infinity scarf! I'd love to do a mixed media DIY and add a pompom trim that I have seen at Joann Fabrics."

"I love that there is a video and I will certainly make this tote. I wish more people would add a video. It helps to visualize the instructions much better than photographs."

"I have to have this as a wall hanging for my kitchen. I'd also make one for use as a pillow. What a cute looking gift idea, the pair of these. Maybe even whip up a set of coffee coasters- the pattern can be found either on this website or the crochet website. I keep coming across them."

"Jazzing up an old cotton blanket or a plain solid color toss pillow would be great to do by adding these lovely crocheted flowers in three different sizes and designs. This is just one idea on how to make use of these. The yarn looks like it could be Red Heart or Caron. Stunning in black and white, don't you think? It would give it a more modern edge."

"How neat! This would be super handy for the summer. I also like that it's all natural. The store-bought mosquito repellant candles always smell very much like dangerous chemicals to me!"

Pillows from Felted Sweaters

Don't toss out that old sweater. You can upcycle it into a pillow with this project.

From the blogger: "Create these lovely zipped pillow covers from your old and unused sweaters! Felt them in the washing machine with hot water, cut them up and applique the leaf design with the free downloadable template. Sew the two sides together with a zipper closure, and you’ve got a great new piece of home décor! They don’t cost anything when you repurpose materials that you already have and are a wonderful housewarming gift... or for any other occasion!"
