Recycling old sweaters into throw pillows is a modern, creative idea if you are making handmade pillows. Recycled crafts are tapping into the timelessly beautiful, artistic decorating trends that are both cozy and sustainable. Upcycled sweater pillows are popular handmade home decor accessories because they are soft and textured, giving new life to used items that might otherwise be discarded. Here’s Lushome’s collection of craft ideas showing what you can do with old sweaters.

Handmade pillows made from old sweaters are beautiful and easy to make. Cutting panels from a sweater, vest, or knitted dress, then sewing them into a pillow cover, adding a lining and backing for stability, and stuffing or inserting a pillow form are straightforward steps for designing these unique home decorations. Handmade sweater pillows are charming, decorative, and comfortable. These versatile, informal home decorations feature attractive cable-knit patterns, combined designs, varied wool yarns, textured appliques, and artful embroidery, adding originality and visual interest to these recycled crafts.
