Upcycled sweater to barrette flower pom

I had a lot of sweater left over from my upcycled pillows. I couldn't let it go to waste, could I? I made this sweet little flower out of half of one sleeeve. Don't you just want to cuddle up with it?
I cut 3 inch round circles from one sleeve. I used 9 circles; one for the base, 8 for the pom. I folded them in half and then in half again and hot glued it to the base.
I then cut a rectangular(ish) piece of felt and hot glued the pom to it. I got the barette at the dollar store, 6 for $1.
These would be cute pinned to a purse, a scarf, a sweater, shoot, just about anything! Let me know if you decide to make one of your own.

    I love this! The color and texture are perfect. What type of sweater did you use? I'm thinking of trying this.
