Upcycled Scrap Sweater Ball Garlands

"I find it hard to sit still and I'm a bit of a fidget so I love crafts that I can do in front of the TV. This is one of those crafts as it doesn't take much concentration and before you know it, you will have a bowl of sweater balls. As well as being a fun easy craft it is practically free as you just use an old sweater or felt scraps to make these super cute balls. Which you can then string into ornaments and a colourful garland."

More Recycled Crafts You'll Love

If you enjoyed creating upcycled scrap sweater ball garlands, we have a few more craft project ideas that we think you'll love!

For a similar upcycling project, we suggest making a wreath out of old fabric scraps. You can use a wire wreath frame as the base and then tie or glue your scraps onto it in a colorful and creative way. This is a great way to use up leftover fabric and add a unique touch to your home decor.

If you want to try your hand at a different type of garland, consider making a paper bead garland. This project involves rolling up strips of paper into beads and then stringing them together to create a beautiful and customizable decoration. You can use patterned paper, magazine pages, or even old maps to make your beads truly unique.

For a gift-giving craft project, we recommend making personalized photo coasters. Start with plain ceramic tiles and then mod podge your favorite photos onto them. Finish with a coat of clear sealant to protect the images, and you'll have a thoughtful and practical gift that your loved ones will cherish.

No matter what craft project you choose to tackle next, we know you'll bring your own creative flair to it. Happy crafting!
