This Instructable seemed too cool to go un-tried, so try it I did , ish…Flowering Elbow is not exactly known for following the recipe.

My version of the ‘sweater boot’ did involve culling two jumpers, but fear not, I have plans for the remains. My 15 year old sports sweater complete with paint stains was first to go under the scissors – it took quite a bit of fiddling with to get it anywhere near the right kinda shape. I decided that was just too dull and got a charity shop purchase involved to make the cuffs.

Seems big buttons are pretty hard to come by/fairly expensive if you don’t have any lying around. So I went for some flowers that were hanging about in my newly re-discovered odds and ends box.

Thank you Bongo for getting me that glue gun, glue gun= fun!
