This easy to make Christmas wreath is made from old jumpers, tee shirts or sweatshirts, and a wire coat hanger. It can then be decorated with pompoms, bells, buttons, shiny-wrapped sweets, or just left plain.

After lots of experimenting, we have found that old acrylic jumpers work best. You can easily cut them by hand –  no need to measure – and they don’t fray too much.  If you don’t have any suitable jumpers in the back of your wardrobe, it’s another  good reason to visit your local charity shop.
