Even if you don’t want to build an unravel sweater machine you may have as much fun as I had looking at the video :)
By the way, it’s no joke, the unravel sweater machine can be used by charity projects where they unravel old sweaters to re-use the yarn.

A new day, a new pumpkin ;-)
You must admit that this sweater pumpkin is a cute idea :)

It seems to be pretty easy to make a beautiful cowl from an old sweater.
The ‘beautiful cowl’ surely depends also from the original look of the sweater ;-))
What to do with the ugly Christmas sweaters you may still have?
Quite simple: you make them still more kitschy and then a party where the ugliest will be awarded ;-))
Well, I find the turban a simple yet elegant solution about what to do with an old cozy sweater ;-)

I’m completely amazed by these ‘trophies’! ;-)
I’m sure that you can make the shape yourself, e.g. from recycled cardboard and tape or even plaster.
If you don’t like this so much, you still can make sweater boots, a scarf from your old sweater or you can unravel it for the yarn ;-)

Still have some old sweaters? Make such a boot from them!
Another great idea, isn’t it? :)
As good as the Sweater Scarf and the yarn from sweaters ;-)
And if you don’t have a sweater to recycle, take t-shirts ;-))
