‘Tis the Season to get ugly… with an ugly christmas sweater, that is! I was challenged to create an already-ugly sweater from UglyChristmasSweater.com into an even more ugly creation. I couldn’t say no to the challenge! Here I am modeling the ugly sweater BEFORE I got ugly-crafty with it. Also, dig the dollar store decorations in the front yard. I know how to get ugly, y’all!
I have to admit how happy I am that ugly Christmas sweaters are “a thing” now. I even bought an Ugly Christmas Sweater cookie decorating kit.
Uglify a Christmas Sweater With Dollar Store Stuff!
Project Materials:
- A sweater, on hand
- Elf doll, $1
- Dollar store Christmas stocking, $1
- Additional embellishments, as desired
- Embroidery thread and needle (or hot glue)
Total: $2 and up
To Make:
1. Start with a sweater (find one in your closet or at the thrift store), and add the least attractive dollar store Christmas decorations you can find.
I used an Elf doll and a felt Christmas stocking. And I turned my sweater inside-out to give it more of a Cosby Sweater vibe.
2. Sew or glue the objects to your sweater. I sewed mine with embroidery thread and a running stitch (so I can remove them and re-decorate my sweater every year!).
I sewed the Elf to the stomach of the sweater because I am pregnant and my original concept was to make an elf in utero (Christmas light umbilical cord, anyone?) I left the stocking open at the top so I can insert goodies before I go to my holiday parties… who wants a candy cane?
