Ugly Christmas Sweater Extraordinaire

This weekend I was invited to an ugly sweater party. I had no idea what to wear… ^_~ I went to a couple of thrift stores but I didn’t find a thing so I went to Ross and Hobby Lobby. I bought a plain sweater, some felt, plastic light bulbs, and tiny bells.

 

I traced some designs on paper and cut them out. I ended up making the Santa and the tree bigger than the paper cutouts. 

Here’s the Santa. I didn’t use a template for the shoes or belt. You can see my tree and the Christmas lights I hot glued on. 

Hello creepy Santa head! I pulled this off a creepy ornament. It was just a Santa head and a weird heart shaped pillow thing. I was gonna make a Santa face but I realized I didn’t buy cream colored felt. So my mom suggested this thing. 

Here’s the snowman. I just cut out some circles and stuff and glued them on. 

So after I cut out those things I decided that it wasn’t busy enough. So I cut out a square and some rectangles and made a present. But it wan’t enough! So I lined the collar with alternating bells and lights. Then I hot glued REAL candy canes onto the other side. I even added 2 bells on each wrist. With a giant poinsettia on my head, I was ready to get out the door and on my way. My husbands sweater you ask? I just sewed those on because he didn’t want me to ruin his sweater. He won that snowman for me in a claw machine, by the way. 

And that’s how you make an ugly sweater. Merry Christmas!

Hello world.

Time to jump into the brave new world of Tumblr. New to me at least. I’ve been reading Tumblr for what seems like years now. I always lusted over cool blogs, pretty backgrounds, and even cooler bloggers. The untouchables. People that write about things that are important to them just because they can. Because it’s fun. Because they want to make a difference. Or just because they want to post funny videos of Disco Doggieshttp://heressomeawesome.tumblr.com/ 

Hello World. Here I am.
