We were inspired to make an ugly sweater-themed craft using whatever wrapping scraps we had lying around. So these two projects are the result of a really fun and oddly challenging creative afternoon.
We’ll show you how we made a festive wood box decoupaged with paper scraps and a festive, decorative wall sign using bows an leftover wrapping paper. No rules here, you can be as fun and creative as you like!
Ugly Christmas Sweater Crafts
When it comes to the holiday season, there’s one fashion trend that never fails to bring a smile to everyone’s face: ugly sweaters! Why not incorporate this idea into your home decor? This easy project starts with an ordinary wood box, festive napkins and ugly sweaters that you can download for free.
Add your favorite embellishments like tinsel, jingle bells or pompoms to really make this decoupage project your own. The possibilities are endless! Not only will you have a one-of-a-kind creation, but you’ll also have fun making it.
Another great idea is to organize an ugly sweater crafting party with family and friends. Gather a variety of supplies, play some holiday music and get crafty. Not only will this be a fun way to bond with loved ones during the holiday season, but everyone will leave with their very own masterpiece – or should we say ugly-sweaterpiece!
