Cupcake Ornament Made from Recycled Sweaters

We had an ornament exchange this year at work, and I wanted my contribution to be handmade.

I found directions at the Better Homes and Gardens web site, telling how to make a cute cupcake ornament from recycled wool sweaters. Although I did not follow the directions exactly (I used a paper cup as the base for the ornament, and stitched everything instead of gluing, and used a metallic silver non-wool sweater for the “wrapper”), mine is still very similar.

I think it came out looking yummy, and I plan to make another one for my own (next-year’s) Christmas tree!
