Hi guys! It’s Ashlee from My So Called Crafty Life, and I am back today to share a fun retro Christmas DIY accessory with you all.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a total nut for Christmas, especially anything vintage and Christmas! I also love fashion crafts, so this was a perfect way to combine the two.
I love little holiday minis and have a bunch of vintage and new little treasures that I love to craft with. At this time of year I wear a lot of sweaters, and I thought it would be fun to make a couple of vintage style Christmas DIY cardigan clips to embellish my sweaters for the holidays.
Gather These Supplies
- Sweater/alligator clips (I bought mine at Jo-Ann)
- Vintage or new minis like deer, Santas, wooden ornaments, mini sisal wreaths
- Chain – length of your choice
- Jump rings – 2 for each clip
- Jewelry pliers
- Jewelry cutters
- Jewelry glue
Instructions
I LOVE my sweater clips! They are so kitschy, they fit my personality perfectly. You can easily style them to your own taste just by using your favorite minis, flowers, buttons, etc.
I hope you all will make a set of sweater chain clips of your own. They are a fabulous accessory to embellish an outfit, as well as bringing some always needed cheer to your holiday style!
