This Woman Starts Cutting Into A Sweater. When She’s Done An Unexpected Awesome Surprise!

Sometimes I watch DIY’s that have great ideas but I find the person illustrating them either stiff, irritating or just not seeming genuine.  I know the focus of the video is the object being made, but it is more enjoyable watching a great DIY being narrated by an amusing person, who likes what she is doing.

The girl in this video has a great idea for all the old sweaters lurking in our closets, just waiting  to be turned into a new functional winter article of clothing. There is nothing that fights the cold better than covering our heads with a hat, and no cuter form of that than the winter beanie.

The old sweater needs to have a band on the bottom of it for this to work.  The video you are about to watch shows how the bottom part of this kind of sweater gets turned into the cutest beanies with great ease!  The good news is that if you don’t know how to sew, the bonding of the material can be done with fabric glue.

The girl in the video is not a sewer, so she illustrates how to make the beanie with just a pair of scissors and some fabric glue.  She shows you each step of the cutting, folding and gluing in such a fun way, that it really makes you want to try it!

The finished product is, no joke, simply adorable.  These beanies would make incredible holiday gifts! She charmingly jokes about how they remind her of making snowflakes in kindergarten!

She really convinced me to try making these, and by not throwing away the arms of the sweater you get a bonus!  Let us know if this is something you will try, and if you enjoyed watching the process as much as I did.  Oh, by the way the sweater arms get turned into a blast from the past…leg warmers!
