Inspiration For DIY Christmas Jumpers

As the festive season rolls round we've gathered together some inspiration for your DIY Christmas Jumper! Reducing, reusing and recycling in the most festive of manners!

'Tis Christmas Jumper season and marks seem to be awarded on the basis of "the gaudier the better"!

Instead of splashing out on something that will be worn but once a year, why not brush up on your craft skills and get stuck into some DIY?

Not only will you avoid the awkward moment of having the same jumper as 25 others in the pub, you'll also be reducing, reusing and recycling!

No matter what your level of creativity is, all you need is some home supplies and you will be sure to make a statement.

Here is a list of sources which should inspire you, ranging in level of skill to cater for all your crafting needs.
