Step 1: Goodwill Hunting

If you don't shot at Goodwill, it's a fantastic place for makers and artists to get good and cheap materials to work with.  For this particular project, I choose 9 different sweaters that were $2 each...  If you already have a sewing machine... that makes this project under $20!!!

 This picture is actually one I found on the internet... but our Goodwills around here look very similar to it.  I'm in East TN, and there are 3-4 different ones around that I've been to...  some more expensive than others...   I'm not sure it it's at Goodwills or not, but they have a color code system on their clothes..  and every time you go in, there's a sign that tells what color is on sale that day..   If you go on the last Friday and Saturday on the month...  then they have all of one color tags are $1 each...   When I was in college, we'd go on that day if we needed some kind of costume or outfit for a  party or event....
