I fell in love with the sweater vase the first time I saw it …
and here is where I’m supposed to link to the blog post where I first saw a sweater vase. But, honestly, I just can’t remember where.
So, instead, I did some research about the origin of the sweater vase. Because I’m crazy like that. Google search and I are best buddies …
we’ll be announcing our engagement any day now. 😉
My soon-to-be-fiance Google image search delivered the answer I was looking for. And, quite honestly, I wasn’t all too surprised to find out sweater vases first cropped up in a Country Living magazine article …
over two years ago.
Two.
Years.
Ago!
So why has it taken me so long to make some of my own? Yeah, that’s a question I’ve been asking myself too. 
Can you picture me now scratching my head?
Seriously, I have no good excuse. Because they are so easy to make …
It took all of five minutes …
not counting the time spent going to the Salvation Army to buy sweaters and vases on the cheap.
I simply threaded the sleeve onto the vase …
cut along the bottom …
and I was done …
To mix things up, I cut the next one at the top of the vase instead of the bottom …
And then just folded the excess fabric inside the vase …
That’s it.
And now my vases are all cozy and warm …
and questioning me about why it too so long …
P.S. This project first appeared on a contributor post I created for Made From Pinterest.

You had me at new-sew! Very pretty!
Now that is my kinda thing……quick and easy and looks pretty as well.
Noticed your tall vase that it has a cuff on the bottom of your vase that could be turned over; like turning the sleeve the other way and turning the cuff down on the outside of the vase. (I’m thinking out loud to myself)
How pretty these would be in center of table with Christmas holly branches coming out or even spray painted branches with small ornaments hanging from the branches. Possibilities are endless.
Wonderful inspiration. thank you

Fun! I love sweaters, so I would not cut them up, but they are fun. Maybe someone else’s sweater?
So funny — this has been on my list of projects for probably two years now and I have yet to bite the bullet! Ridiculous… you’ve inspired me now, Linda! Have a blessed Thanksgiving, friend ~ xo Heidi
