I am a bit of a prop junkie, but I am also super crafty. Any chance I can DIY props, I do! I am feeling pretty proud of this one! While I was at goodwill last week, I found a gorgeous cream colored, cable knit sweater…for $2. I have been pretty obsessed with using neutral props, wraps, backdrops recently, and I wanted to have a great neutral option for my baskets/buckets/etc. When I saw this sweater, I knew I had to do something with it.
So, I bought it. Took it home..and then made a plan! Here is what I came up with, and I feel like a GENIUS! It’s a basket sweater!!
It was crazy easy to make, I just cut from armpit to armpit, so I had a ring of sweater. I then folded over each end about and inch, and used a zigzag stitch to make a pocket for the ribbon (leaving about 1/2 unsewn to get the ribbon in, and for the ends to hang out).
I have a TON of baskets and buckets that this fits over. I just tighten up and tie both ends snug…and I have a gorgeous, neutral cover. I just love the texture, and the sweater at the top of my containers gives a nice, soft surface for baby!
