This will keep the straw from looking quite so lumpy and showing through.<br /><b>2.</b> Cut the sleeves from the sweater that you plan to use for the wreath. (Don’t worry…I am going to share a project that will use the rest of your sweater in a moment!)<br /><b>3.</b> Cut the sleeves open along the seam line.<br /><b>4.</b> Wrap one of the sleeves around the wreath form, pinning it in place as you go and leaving the finished edge open. (I tried stapling, but it was just too thick.)
