I’m cutting up sweaters like crazy over here. Last week I shared a
sweater coffee can storage idea and today I’m showing you a valentine sweater vase.

This was one of my favorite sweaters. I’ve had it for years. It’s made out of a silky cording and I believe crocheted. It’s a light dusty pink and perfect to throw on over a tank top. Sadly, it started unraveling. I’m still planning on undoing the sweater and saving the silky yarn.

I only used one sleeve to make this vase so I still have plenty of cording to unravel and use for something else. Maybe I’ll get ambitious and try to recreate the sweater. Realistically, I could probably handle knitting a scarf.

I’m sure you’ve seen sweater vases on various other sites and Pinterest. They’re super easy to make. You simple cut off a sleeve, slide it over a vase or jar and voila – you have a sweater vase. For this project, I glued the raw edge of the sleeve to the underside of the vase so it wouldn’t unravel. I also used small adhesive dots to keep the top edge from sliding down.

I’ll miss wearing this sweater but at least it’s been upcycled into something pretty.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

This is so pretty. I've seen other sweater crafts, but I really like yours. I love the open weave of the sweater you used. So pretty.
