#82 give a gift for no reason (1/3)

As part of my crafting kick, I decided to repurpose/ upcycle a sweater that I got from my cousin. I loved the color but it didn't fit so here's what I did:

I forgot a "before picture" of the sweater...Oops.  I cut two pieces about 8" by 24" one from the front and one from the back.

I folded the neck warmers over, and used the buttons to sew the ends together.There are no button holes, the buttons just sit right on top.

I gave one to my cousin for letting me cut up her sweater and kept one.  We took pictures of ourselves wearing them...but it was 3AM and we looked a mess.  You'll have to settle for this.  That is what one of these neck warmers SHOULD look like...I imagine I'll get better at this because it was SO easy. The best part is no knitting (almost as bad as crochet) and almost no sewing...anyone can sew on a button!  Also, this was a completely free project. the tan buttons came from an old jacket, the sweater was free, and the blue buttons came from the sweater!
