Cozy and Creative Flannel Crafts and more...


  • Cozy Flannel Projects
  • Love Your Pet Day
  • Shopgoodwill.com Spotlight
  • Donations Coordinator Internship

Brrrrr! This has been a cold February so far and looks like the deep freeze will last for the rest of the month.  That got us thinking about putting together a link roundup of cozy flannel projects. Last week we linked to our upcycled sweater Pinterest board. Here are more creative ideas using commonly found flannel at Goodwill.
______________________________________________________________
Look for flannel shirts in both the men's and women's areas at Goodwill and also check linens for flannel sheets.  Here's the roundup!

Coffee Sleeves  Look closely - these cozy coffee warmers are made from the cuffs of flannel shirts! Found on thriftdee.com blog. Wouldn't your friends love a set of these to keep warm too?

Soft and Cozy Pillow  Visit Robin-happyathome.blogspot.com and read her cute story about buying a thrift store shirt not because it fits, but because she loved the color. We get that! She upcycled the flannel shirt into a cozy pillow.
                              
Flannel Hand Warmers  iheartnaptime.net has a simple to follow tutorial for making these hand warmers with your left over materials.
