No-Sew Old Sweater Into a New Cardigan

Here is another No Sew way to recycle your old clothes.

This project is inexpensive and will only take you 15 minutes to do!
For this tutorial we will take old shirts and sweaters and turn them into cardigans!
You can never have too many cardigans in my opinion!

What You Will Need:
-Old Shirt or Sweater (Know that some sweaters will fall apart when you cut them. If you use a sweater use one that is light weight)
-Heat and Bond (Found at any craft or fabric store. You can use regular or super strength)
-Iron
-Scissors
-Hard surface to iron

Start by laying your sweater flat.

Now take your scissors and cut up the middle.

Lay your sweater on a hard surface that you can iron on.

Lay one of the sides of your sweater face down.
Now we are going to clean up the raw edge with the heat and bond.

Lay a strip of Heat and Bond down a 1/2" from the edge of your sweater.

Fold the sweater over the Heat and Bond tape and iron it.
Please read the Heat and Bond instructions before using it.

I would iron the Heat and Bond on in sections.
It is hard do an entire side at once.

Do this to both sides of the sweater.

NOTE:
If you want an even cleaner look fold the sweater's edge over and heat and bond it again

Clip off any ends that stick out.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
