# Crafty Embellished Jumpers This Pom-Pom Sweater by I Spy DIY Adds Unconventional Fringes By Erin Kirkpatrick | Published 2013-01-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pompom-sweater-by-i-spy-diy References: [emmajanenation](http://www.emmajanenation.com/) & [ispydiy](http://www.ispydiy.com/2012/12/my-diy-pom-pom-sweater.html) The Pom-Pom Sweater by I Spy DIY proves that an item normally reserved for crafts has every right to be in your closet, or more specifically on its contents. As a bonus, this DIY can be constructed using inexpensive materials and materials that are currently collecting dust in your overcrowded wardrobe. Give that solid-colored sweater an instant update with the assistance of a handful of poms poms and a needle and thread. While the Pom-Pom Sweater by I Spy DIY does feature pom poms it does so sparingly. Erase images of a sweater saturated and dangling with an abundance of the puffy craft material. Instead, this jumper prefers to embellish only its sleeves in a spaced out and symmetrical manner; although, DIYers should not worry if it's not exactly the same on both sides. Imperfection is both beautiful and authentic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Crafty Embellished Jumpers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating unconventional fringes, such as pom poms, into clothing designs. - **DIY Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Providing easy-to-follow tutorials and kits for consumers to personalize their clothing with craft materials. - **Upcycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering creative ways to repurpose and update existing wardrobe items using inexpensive materials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with DIY influencers to create co-branded clothing collections that combine craft and fashion. - **Craft Supplies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing specialized craft kits and materials specifically designed for DIY fashion projects. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Promoting the use of upcycled materials and DIY techniques to reduce waste and improve environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Cable Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eloise-wool-sweater.md) - [Soufflé Yarn Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-souffl-yarn.md) - [Understated Festive Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christina-fair-isle-cardigan.md) - [Jacket-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fleece-parka.md) - [Ornate Cashmere Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embroidered-cashmere-sweater.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [Fashion-Forward Tennis Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-activewear.md) - [Classic Fisherman-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seafarer-cotton-sweaters.md) - [Festive Convertible Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zip-off-holiday-sweater.md)
