  Let’s Get ugly and create your masterpiece

1. Sweater Selection

Select your canvases. Search for a size that would let you comfortably layer over clothing. Perfect beginning ideas include bold colors, reindeer designs, or anything intrinsically “un-festive”.

2. Pom-Pom Power

A traditional unattractive jumper adornment are pom poms. They are available pre-made at craft stores or created from yarn yourself. To produce a quirky, textured effect, experiment with many sizes and colours. Either rapid application with hot glue or straight on the jumper using sewing.

3. Yarn Yarn Revolution

Your weapon of choice for striking patterns and themes is yarn. Either use yarn to make appliques to be sewed or glued on, or knit or crochet straight onto the jumper. Here are some ugly but festive ideas:

• One massive candy cane across the front.
• a wobbly snowman with felt circle googly eyes.
• A family of knitted cats sporting Santa caps—why not?

4. Allow There To Be Lights

Feeling very festive? Your ugly jumper may look great with some colorful fairy lights run by batteries. Sew them on the sweater’s interior such that the battery pack is readily reachable.

5.Accessorize Like a Champion

The last brushstroke. Don’t overlook the accessories! More bizarre, the better are mismatched earrings, a light-up Rudolph nose. Or a Santa hat with dubious tinsel count.
