Art of Reuse

So to kick off my winter vacation, the first thing I did was cut up an old sweater. Pretty unexciting, I know... but with the way my bank account is looking right now, shopping was definitely not an option. After staring at my closet, I decided to experiment with a vintage wool sweater I bought at Value Village for $12.99 last winter.

With scissors, and a needle and thread at hand, this is what I came up with:

I absolutely adore off the shoulder tops, so there was no question that this was the look I was going for. I also got a little bit more creative and cut straight down the back, and completed the look by tying three bows along the slit.

I totally forgot to take a picture before I started cutting, but here's a photo I dug up of me wearing the sweater from last Christmas:
