One of the easiest ways to make an ugly Christmas sweater is with tree ornaments! Start by choosing a sweater with a thick weave that can support the ornaments and about 15-30 ornaments. Then, lay out the sweater on a flat surface with the front side facing up and figure out there you want to position each ornament. For example, you might want to line the collar, sleeves, or bottom of the sweater, or cover the entire surface. Once everything is in the place, thread hooks or wire through the ornament’s hole, thread that through the sweater, and tie it off or twist it so that the ornament won’t come loose. Be sure to put your sweater on carefully so that you don’t knock off any ornaments! To learn how to use garlands on your ugly Christmas tree sweater, read on!
