Sweater "Cozy" Inspiration

It doesn't really "feel" like winter here in Hawaii, and its too hot for hot chocolate,soup or sweaters.
I have however, been noticing a lot of sweater "cozy" items online-
I like these sweater plant covers.
These bracelets-so easy to make these!


Pillows-what a cozy thing to have on your couch...





Bowls? this sure would keep your hands protected!

A nice wine/Apple cider cover...


Yes! Candle covers!


And...Anthropologie-need I say more?

I was inspired to make some of my own vase "cozy's" so I headed to the thrift store and bought some various clearance sweaters in different colors.


I slid my clear 99 cent vases through the sleeve to see how where to cut it off...



and then snipped away.




Funny, I didn't even care if they were Liz Claiborne,Old Navy or Gap sweaters. I would never wear them here.

I tucked the excess fabric in side and didn't glue it down, in case I need to wash the vase or cover.


There! All three covered and cozy!


I like the cable knit sweaters.



My nice fall vases.
Now I will try to make pillows from the rest of the fabric.
