Mom's Ugly Christmas Sweater

Mom had me decorate her ugly sweater as well.  She bought it at Saver's.  I chose the theme of Christmas village.

I first glued a felt snowman to the bottom:


I cup up tinsel sticks and glued them to the giant snowflake in the middle.


She wanted these gloves incorporated into the sweater, so I glued them to the shoulders:


I cut ribbon and glued them around the wrists of the gloves:


I added foam stickers, a fabric gingerbread man, and a plastic tree to the bottom: 



I glued foam snowflakes down the sides to make it look like it was snowing on the creatures:


 I glued Moose Buttons on the gloves and glued more ribbon, to connect the gloves on the back of the sweater:


I added a purple bulb clip to the zipper:


This is how it looked when I was done:

My Ugly Christmas Sweater

Buy an ugly sweater at a thrift store.  I got mine at Saver's.



Buy some decorations you want to put on it and some tacky glue.  I had tinsel, ribbons, gloves, foam stickers, pom poms, and themed buttons.  Use what the sweater has on it and incorporate it into overall theme.  I had snowflakes all over mine.  Decide on a theme.  I chose Christmas Tree theme.

I started out by cutting tinsel sticks in half to glue onto the snowflakes.

Then I added Penguin Foam Stickers to the top right and bottom left.



I added this Bulb clip to the zipper:


I glued on a twisty ribbon to make it look like light strings on the tree.  


I glued on Candy cane foam stickers:


I glued on tree foam stickers:


I cut up more tinsel sticks and glued them to the sleeves:



I added some moose buttons:


Here is the finished sweater:
