Upcycled Sweater

Colorful old sweaters are great for repurposing into all kinds of new goodies, like this tie-embellished onesie. This makes a great personalized but inexpensive gift, and it works for girls, too—just sew on a fabric necklace or brooch instead of the tie. Click here for our tie template.

Then finish the bookplate set with an inkpad and sticky labels. For plenty more ideas ranging from custom pet tags to jewelry made from fabric scraps, check out our latest issue.
