Holiday season is also Ugly Sweaters season! So today I have a printable ugly sweater set that you can use to make a bunch of fun ugly sweater DIY Holidays crafts and paper goodies. I've also included an Ugly Sweater SVG file you can use with your favorite cutting machine. See below for details.
I was a kid in the 80's and a teen in the 90's, I've worn my share of ugly sweaters. So now, the crazy of wearing them on purpose for holiday fun, I don't know if that's a good or bad blast from the past. But whatever it is, I love the creativity Ugly Sweaters inspire! So, when my friend Angie over at The Country Chic Cottage asked if I wanted to join her Virtual Ugly Sweater Party, I said HECK YEAH, I'm IN!
Ugly Sweaters Printable For Your Ugly Sweater Party
This printable Ugly Sweater craft art set comes with 2 sheets of ugly sweater designs. One set is decorated already so you can color them however you like. The second page is a set of plain old boring sweaters you can decorate, they are begging you to add your own creative touch!
To decorate this little ugly sweater, I printed it out on green card stock. I then used red glitter glue and sprinkled on cupcake sprinkles (don't eat this sweater!. I finished it off with some craft foam letters to spell the word JOY. Yes, I raided my daughter's craft cabinet and the baking cabinet… I used all my cool glitter to take photos of my wood slice ornaments last week, I had to get creative!
