Simon Pearce supports the Vermont Institute of Natural Science’s 31st Annual Birdathon happening from April 20 – May 22 with 100% of proceeds from the sales of his glass bird paperweights going to the Birdathon. This event is the world’s largest bird watching competition. If you love nature or are a bird watcher yourself, why not support them and grab one of these for yourself?
If you’re looking for a creative and sustainable craft project, look no further than the Upcycled Wool Felt Banner tutorial from Cucicucicoo. This DIY project is perfect for those who love working with fabric and want to give old sweaters a new life. It’s an easy way to make beautiful, eco-friendly decor while also recycling materials that would otherwise go to waste.
What I love most about this project is how customizable it is. Whether you’re using wool sweaters in soft neutrals or bold, vibrant colors, you can create a banner that perfectly suits your home decor or seasonal celebrations. The tutorial guides you step-by-step through turning old wool sweaters into felt, which is then used to make the banner pieces. It’s the ultimate upcycled project, giving you a chance to breathe new life into things you may have otherwise thrown out.
The process is easy to follow, and it doesn’t require a ton of supplies – just a few sweaters, scissors, a needle, and thread. Plus, this project doesn’t just make for beautiful home decor; it’s a wonderful activity for kids, especially when working with felt pieces.
This Upcycled Wool Felt Banner would be great for various occasions, such as fall, winter, or even holiday decor. You can hang it on the wall, drape it across your mantel, or add it to a wreath or as part of a festive display. It’s such a charming and thoughtful addition to any space.
I can’t recommend this tutorial enough for anyone looking to upcycle and make something beautiful out of old sweaters. It’s simple, creative, and so much fun to make!
