Last weekend, my in laws were here so we went up to the Flea Market in Wilmot Wisconsin. It's just a hop, skip and a jump from where we live. And a beautiful drive too!
Anyway, I found this gorgeous, beaded aqua Christmas sweater:
This sweater is loaded with beads and sequins. Look closely at the picture. Those are little Christmas trees! Here's a photo of the other side:
You're probably all thinking, what in the world is she going to do with that?!! Well, I'm not wearing it! I love my glittery purses but I draw the line with those! I plan to cut it up. Or did you already guess that?
The first thing I did with it was to take the zipper out and then I clipped the lining out of it:
The lining too is a gorgeous shade of aqua so I plan to use that too! And guess how much I paid for this! $5.00! That's it! Just $5.00 for all those little Christmas trees!
I filled my kitchen sink with cold water and washed both pieces by hand. I laid them out on a towel to air dry so now they're ready for.....well, whatever it is I come up with! LOL!!! Be sure to follow me. You never know what I'll be doing next!
Score! There's tons of creativity to be had with this, for sure.
ReplyDeleteHave to admit I loved the christmas trees as a shirt.
ReplyDeleteThe trees would look great with black velvet purse.
