So you’ve procrastinated on finding your ugly holiday sweater and you’ve been invited to a few ugly holiday sweater parties … What are you to do? Well for around $10, you can make your own!

Here’s what you need:

• A plain sweater or sweatshirt
• Holiday cookies
• Candy canes
• Garland
• A hot glue gun

Now it’s time to get to work. First take the time to layout and design your master piece.

Then gently guide the garland around to compliment the flair of the cookies. Remember you can never have too much tinsel!

Remember to be precise. Ugly is not easy to accomplish, so you must work hard at the perfect turns and angles of each cookies.

Now start on one side and gentlu use that hot glue to secure your flair.

Hazard reminder! These cookies become non-edible at this point (Even though you’ll be super tempted, DON’T!).

ALL DONE! Your beautifully ugly holiday sweater is ready to go. Gently slide the masterpiece over your head and wear accordingly.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, sweater friends!
