Ugly Christmas Sweaters are all the rage this holiday season. Ugly Christmas sweater contests are often held at office parties, school functions, parades, family gatherings and other holiday events. Sure, one can purchase an ugly Xmas sweater at a retail store or online via Amazon, but creating a gawdy Christmas sweater is much more fun!
To
create a unique, one-of-a-kind, tacky Christmas sweater, supplies needed
include:
- Any
Christmas décor: garland, ribbon, ornaments, stockings, stuffed plush, velvet bows, battery operated lights or purchase an Instant Ugly Sweater kit
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Sweatshirt, sweater or vest
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Sweatshirt, sweater or vest
One can start with a solid plain canvas (red, white or green sweatshirt / sweater). Or, one can begin with a patterned Christmas shirt and simply add decorations to make the sweater even uglier. To save money on apparel, check your own closets or secondhand stores for pre-owned clothing.
Decorating ugly
sweaters can be a fun
family activity any time of the year, but especially during the Thanksgiving
holiday! Gather extra Christmas decorations and allow the children to design
the ugly clothing by positioning the decorations on the clothing. For safety,
parents should use the hot glue gun or carefully supervise older children using
hot glue. Once the gawdy sweaters are crafted, wear them shopping on Black
Friday, to the office or on Christmas Eve / Day. Ladies, style your hair with
a Reindeer Sock Bun and add a tulle skirt in Christmas
colors to complete the outfit. Guys, try adding a Christmas tie to complete the ugly look!
