I had some leftover supplies from a few projects and decided to redo one of my Spring sweaters.
I used some buttons covers from my Spring Ring Project, some fabric scraps from my Spring Burlap Wreath and some ric rac from a project that’s being posted tomorrow.
I hardly ever wore this sweater before because it was always kind of — BLAH… So — if you want a quick, easy way to add some pizazz to a sweater — try this!
- First I covered the buttons with fabric. Very easy — use a pencil eraser to push the prongs through the material and then snap on the back.
- Then I cut off the existing buttons.
- Next, I took a piece of big ric rac I had laying around and stitched it onto the sweater — right over where the buttons were. {If you don’t have a machine, you could use fabric glue or Stitch Witchery} I tucked the ends of the ric rac under the top and bottom of the sweater and they were secure when I stitched it into place.
- Then I used a needle and thread to attach the new buttons to the sweater.
I like the way the ric rac peeks through from under the edge of the sweater. Very fun! I am going to look around for a pink or blue sweater to do it with next!
Have a great day!
