One sweater, ten upcycled baby product ideas
Posted on January 25th, 2012 in recycling, seeds of change |
How many different kinds of baby products could you make with an old sweater? We looked around for upcycling inspiration and share what we find!
We thought that these were a nice eco-friendly twist on some traditional baby gifts.
Baby blanket. You can often find cashmere at thrift stores – what could be cozier?
Baby hat. Warning: very cute picture.
Baby pants. These can be just adorable!
Baby leg warmers. Instructions show adult size, but use a baby sweater and it should work!
Baby booties. Made from a felted sweater
Diaper covers. Wool is breathable and keeps babies’ bottoms warm in winter!
Prefold diapers. A cheap and eco-friendly alternative
Stuffed animals. Requires a pattern.
Nursing pillow cover. Instructions are for use with fabric – you’d have to sew together sweater pieces.
Even nursing pads!
