7.

on the seventh day of christmas i give to you...
homemade leg warmers.
found here.
HOW TO:
-find an old sweater that you don't want, make sure it isn't stitched too tight, you need to be able to thread ribbon through it. also, you'll be using the sleeves, so get one with attractive sleeves.
-cut the sleeves off the sweater, where you cut is where you'll thread ribbon.
-find some cute ribbon and cut a really really long piece, (wrap it around your ankle like five times, this is about how long it should be).
-thread the ribbon around the end of the sweater where you cut, i used a safety pin for this. (thread pretty far in, an inch or two, from the edge, this'll make it cuter, but it depends on what you want.)
-once you're done threading, put your leg warmer on, ribbon side goes at your ankles.
-tighten the ribbon and tie a nice bow.
-adjust it so it looks pretty, and wowee, you did it.
mine aren't nearly as pretty. but a good 1st attempt all the same.
