DIY - Wine Bottle Koozie

I love creating something 

NEW from something OLD!  

The other day I was wearing a sweater and my husband told me it looked "frumpy".  I didn't mind the sweater, but I appreciated his honesty, so I started thinking about what I could make with it because I liked the overall look.  In five minutes,....I had myself a wine bottle Koozie.  Fact: nobody needs a wine koozie, but you know I'm a firm believer that "ordinary is boring", so I pulled one of my Francis Coppola Wine bottles off the rack and wrapped it in this nice, cozy sweater.  It's also a great hostess gift idea - if you're taking a bottle to a party!  

See below for the easy steps:

1.  Turn sweater wrong side out & remove sleeves at the armpit.

2.  Line sweater up next to bottle for length dimensions & trim.

3.  Stitch the raw edge end of sweater.
4.  Slip your bottle of wine in sweater & pat yourself on the back.
5.  Pop a cork, pour yourself a glass, sit back, relax, & sip away!

DIY - Stocking Hat

Keep your ears toasty warm this winter 

with this 5 minute DIY stocking hat!

I tried to consign my husband's old "Structure" sweater - but nobody wanted it.  It did not sell.  I wander why? Or the better question is probably - why did he still have it?...Ha-ha...that was so 90's!  Usually if my stuff doesn't sell, I donate it to charity, but I decided to work with this one and create something new from something old.  It was a success! :)  I now have two knew hats! ...AND a lot of leftover sweater, so I'll probably whip together a few more things!
