So the local thrift shop was having an awesome sale today. I showed up bright and early, and so did apparently half of the town. Fit as much as you can into a paper bag and pay $4, what a fricking steal! So I thought what better time than now to score some groovy sweaters to finally make some boot socks out of? So I grabbed a bunch (along with some picture frames and fluffy loose fabric) and checked out.
This is again, a pretty simple DIY, but here's the pictures and step by step anyways.
 |
| One thing to make sure of is that the sweater arms are large enough to fit your legs through. If the arms are teensy tiny, you might be able to make ankle cuffs and that's about it! Go large. |
 |
| Fold your sweater in half on a flat surface. |
 |
| Cut along the upper arm as evenly as you can. |
 |
| Remember the cuff is going to be sticking out from your boots, so pick sweaters with cute designs there. |
 |
| Now the reason I cut so high up on the arm for this one, leaving all that extra fabric, is so I could use those as slouchy boot socks. |
 |
| see? |
 |
| Note the snowflakes on the white one. That was just a shirt, not a thick sweater, but the cuffs were perfect for this project. |
Happy DIYing!
