More and More Cupcakes

How cute are these? They are perfect to give as gifts to sewing-crafty friends. My favorite thing about them (besides how adorable they are) is that they are created from repurposed wool sweaters, which can be easily found at thrift stores such as Volunteers of America and the Salvation Army store. It's a fun treasure hunt.

The original idea came from the book, Warm Fuzzies, by Betz White, author, designer and green crafter. Check out her pretty blog here.

To make life more pleasant visit Grasshopper Handmade (Etsy shop), which is the perfect source for the cherries/felt balls if you don't care to make them yourself. I tried creating them myself...and, well... not so good. I'll leave it to the master. Liz offers many other wonderful treasures as well. : )
