I am so excited to share this amazing cardigan hack. If you have a cardigan that’s on the bulky side, you’re going to want to learn this trick. You can get a beautiful fit without having to do any sewing.

Tools and materials:

1. Attach safety pins

Take 4 safety pins and pin them vertically, 1 on top of the other 3-4 inches to the right of the center back of the cardigan.

Pin 4 safety pins parallel to the first 4, 3-4 inches to the left of the center back.

2. Lace with ribbon

Find some ribbon in a color that complements your cardigan and lace it from the bottom up through the safety pins, the same way you would lace a corset.

3. Tighten and tie

Pull the strings as tight as you want until the cardigan fits the way you like. Tie the ribbon at the top and you’re all set.
