Upcycled DIY Swants

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Stay Warm this Winter Wearing Homemade Sweater Pants

— November 15, 2013 — Unique
If you're looking to wear something completely out of the ordinary, make your own sweater pants and bring this new fashion statement to your group of friends.

Since these pants are made out of sweaters you already own, they're eco-friendly and a great DIY project. Once you pick which one of your patterned knitted sweaters you wish to transform into a cozy pair of pants, you can get started right away.

While your first reaction may be to completely dismiss these comfy pants and deem them ridiculous, you should probably give them a chance. Not only are you saving money and sweaters you don't wear anymore, they're also a perfect way to ensure you never run into someone with the same outfit as you.

This Christmas, if you're invited to an ugly sweater party, turn heads by wearing a pair of amazing sweater pants you made yourself.
