It is that time of year... pull out your Ugly Christmas Sweater!
Rob and I never really got into UCS but we got invited to a party this year where we had to wear one. I decided to just make our own since I am cheap like that, lol. I drew up a pattern and cut out felt to attach onto an old sweater of my husband's. He loved it so much that he wore it to work!
I saw on Pinterest a cute idea where you attach a ton of bows onto a skirt. I did not have a skirt I was willing to ruin so made my own simple elastic waistband skirt with red felt. I separated the bows (I bought 3 bags of 45each) into two piles to make sure I had enough for each side of the skirt. I also separated the bigger ones from the smaller to make sure they were evenly spaced on the skirt. I kept the paper intact on the bottom of the bow and just hot glued them down so I can re-use the bows. After I glued them all down, I put the elastic in the skirt and voila! I have the perfect skirt to wear to a Christmas party! I had some extra bows so plan on making a little headband to match.
