Hey mamas! I have the cutest {or ugliest?} Christmas ornament craft for you today! This would make a great addition to a December play date, classroom holiday party, or just a cozy afternoon at home!
These felt ugly Christmas sweater ornaments are a breeze to make and add a whole bunch of flair to any tree ;)
Ugly Christmas Sweater Ornament Craft
What you need to get started
Supplies:
Sweater template
Freezer paper
Sharpie
Iron
Felt (various colors)
Scissors
Fabric glue
Silver pipe cleaners
Hot glue
Optional: pom poms, googly eyes, sequins, etc…
Creating your ugly Christmas sweater ornaments
Step one is to download and print the sweater template. Then trace the pattern onto the freezer paper, iron it to your felt, and simply cut along the lines for your sweater base!
Time to get creative!
Cut up pieces of different colors of felt, grab some spare pom poms, or add some sparkle with sequins. This is where you let your tacky side fly! Use the fabric glue to make your fabulously ugly designs stick to your sweater.
Next up is creating your hanger!
Fold a silver pipe cleaner in half. Starting with the folded end, twist the two sides together until you get about halfway down. Then pull open the bottom half to create the “arms” of the hanger and bend the top into the “hook.”
Now just use your hot glue gun to secure it to the back of your sweater!
It doesn’t get easier {or tackier} than this folks!
I hope you give this fun project a try with your kiddos this holiday season. But let’s be real, it’d be just as fun with a bunch of girlfriends and a bottle of wine ;)
