Tutorial and pattern: Upcycle an old sweater into cute Christmas tree ornaments

These magenta sweater Christmas trees were my present to my swap partner in the 2017 Ornament Exchange blog hop. I’ve got a free pattern and tutorial over at Orange Bettie. They’re quick and easy to make using just one pattern piece and two easy seams. It doesn’t take much of the sweater to make each tree. I made 4 of them from just one sleeve of a women’s size small sweater. If you used the whole sweater, you could easily make a dozen of them – or more!

If you’re wondering what I received from my swap, check out these beautiful glitter and crystal ornaments that Marie from The Inspiration Vault made!
