Recycled Sweater Head Wrap and Cowl Scarf

I knit & crochet but to recycle a sweater to a head wrap and a cowl scarf is much more easier & . quicker. Check out how Trudy did it!

Recycled Sweater Head Wrap and Cowl Scarf:

I made Emily a couple of head wraps from some old sweaters and matching cowl scarves. I also made a head wrap for her cousin's 12th birthday. Don't they look so cute together? The head wrap can be worn plain or embellished. They are so quick and easy to sew. You basically cut out long rectangles, apply fabric glue to the long sides and sew the short ends together and you're done. I got the idea from Disney of Ruffles and Stuff. She's made some great tutorials, click here for the head wrap tutorial and here for the cowl scarf. Thanks so much, Disney, Emily loves hers. They keep her warm and stylish.

They were made from these two sweaters.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Recycle Bras

What do you with the bras' that no longer fits?
Do you throw it in the trash?
Would you refashion a bra?

At one time or another YES, I would normally throw it away. Now, I'm letting it pile up. I would love to refashion a bra, but I need ideas. I don't know where to begin or how to refashion a bra. So, if anyone out there may have any suggestions, please drop me a comment or links.

If I don't come up with some creativity I would probably send my unwanted bras' to The Bra Recyclers.
