The Twelve Days of Christmas of Christmas Crafting: Day 9, Felted Polka Dot Sweater.

 Day 9, Of my Twelve days of  Christmas Crafting. I really wanted to do a Christmas Fashion DIY  in one of these  projects.  I have seen so many cute Retro Polka Dots this Holiday Season I thought it would look wonderful on a sweater. Felting is always an  awesome way to get that look store bought look . It is also pretty easy to accomplish and does not take that much time. I did this sweater in about an hour.
All you need is a few felting supplies.( I found all of mine at Hobby Lobby)
Do not waist your time looking at Michael's they have nothing there for felting.
This Sweater turned out just as I imagined, and I love it so much I was thinking of polka dot felting everything. I think a polka dot tea towel would be awesome for my kitchen.
 Enjoy
