Sweater Wreath for Fall

Here is how I made my wreath using an old sweater:
Cut off the bottom of an old sweater
(You will have a circle shape)
Turn under the cut edge, pin and sew leaving enough room to thread a wire through it (I used an old hanger) to make a gather in the shape of a circle.  Once you have the sweater gathered, secure the wire then you can take your sweater and glue it (I used E600) to the middle of a wreath (at the $1 store).  Then add any embellishments you like. (I used a flower, floral wire and an acorn top)
 Hang it with some ribbon and you are done!
