COUPLES: DIY Ugly Christmas Sweaters

December 2, 2013 By

It’s tacky Christmas sweater party time! And I’ve got a great ugly sweater set for ya today. It’s a DIY Texas themed tacky sweater set, complete with cacti, a giant Texas flag, and of course, Christmas lights! All you need is a pair of thrift store sweaters and Tulip fabric paint to recreate these masterpieces. This lovely sweater set is extra special because Jamie is pregnant, and if you look closely, the giant ornament on her sweater has 3 cacti on it to represent her, her husband, and the baby in the belly. Aww…

ADULTS: DIY Ugly Christmas Tree Sweater

November 21, 2013 By

This is by far the best DIY ugly Christmas tree sweater I’ve ever seen. Heathiepants posted this picture on instagram almost a year ago, and it’s shown up all over pinterest! I love that she utilized her whole body and when she raises her arms the tree is formed… perfect! She added a mini hula hoop to the bottom of her Wal Mart sweat shirt to make it flair out just right! Another great thing, this is a no sew sweater, she used safety pins to pin the garland, bells, and tinsel onto her sweater!

PETS: DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater

I love a cute pup in an even cuter sweater and this one is absolutely perfect!  I have to disagree about the ugliness factor because it’s so cute!  Sew DoggyStyle came up with this adorable DIY ugly Christmas sweater vest for her pup using a piece of red sweater material, dark brown felt, green glitter fabric or transfer sheet, mini poms, star patch, bone patches and a little bit of string.  She then attached it to a handmade turtle-neck to complete the “ugliness”.

Elf on the shelf is such a fun idea for everyone with kids out there to celebrate the holiday season.  Elizabeth Snyder  came up with an easy diy Elf on the shelf costume that would be adorable for anyone young or old to dress up as inspired by the cute little toy.  She used red sweats, red socks, white socks on her hands, a santa hat with the white ball removed and a collar made from felt or quilt lining.  So easy and so cute!
