DIY recycled rosette cardigan

diy rosette cardigan step 5 close up
Happy Wednesday everyone, I thought I'd share a little something of what I have been up to lately. Today I added a little flair to this boring old cardigan I never wore. I saw this and this on anthropology so I decided to cut up an old t-shirt my husband was throwing away and made these adorable little roses to attach to my cardigan.


here is a step by step tutorial


step 1: Cut a strip off an old t-shirt


step 2: Twist it


Step 3: Roll in a spiral shape and stitch in place.


(Finished rosette)

step 4: Stitch rosette(s) to cardigan
