DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater
There are a lot of kids in our family, and it would be so much fun to have them decorate their own Christmas sweaters. I can't wait to plan our own sweater decorating party. Recently, Sammie went to a youth group holiday party. She made her own ugly sweater. I loved how it turned out, and it was so inexpensive since we used our own sweater.
Whether you have a party or just decorate a sweater to go to a party, we have made a list of what you will need and how to make them. It's so easy!
Do you have a red, green, white, or even blue sweater or sweatshirt, or an ugly sweater lying around? You could save on the cost of purchasing the sweater for this Christmas project.
If the fabric is really thin, place a towel between the front and the back.
Warm up the glue gun and have it on a protected surface (I like having a ceramic dish under it to catch any dripping from the glue gun when it's not in use), or use a glue gun holster
Use fabric glue for rhinestones, pom poms, pipe cleaners, and Christmas bows.
Use hot glue for heavier items such as mini Christmas stockings, jingle bells, broaches and mini candy canes
Decorate your sweaters by placing items all over the sweater in random patterns.
When done, set the sweater down, laying flat for any glue to dry.
Have fun making your holidays festive with this easy Christmas craft project.
Project Notes
You probably have some of the supplies on hand if you craft or sew. You can pick up things head of time or order what you need all at once, which is what I like to do. I'm a list maker. I see what I have, and then make a list of what I need. Then I order my supplies on Amazon since I havePrime(with free 2-day shipping). You can also check your local Dollar stores or craft stores for seasonal supplies. Other craft supplies you can use that are inexpensive are packs of Christmas bows, ribbons, jingle bells…
Ugly Sweater Christmas Party Idea
If you are throwing a party, have everyone bring their own sweater or sweatshirt to decorate, and just set up a sweater decorating station with your decorating and craft supplies. Have a couple of bottles of fabric glue and a glue gun, so that at least a few people at a time can decorate their sweaters.
You might like to use a lazy Susan with dishes to hold the decorating supplies or an organizing tray like the one above for the craft supplies.
