The Ugly Christmas Sweater

Well, it's that time of the year again - Ugly Christmas Sweaters!  Am I the only one that thinks some of those sweaters are actually really cute?  Maybe I just have the taste of a 70 year old woman.  Which might be completely true because my Grandma buys me clothes occasionally as gifts for the holidays and I usually really like what she buys.  Gma just got good taste!

I don't own a Christmas sweater anymore, so I figured I could make one.  I got this sweater from The Limited a year ago, and I love it over a cami.  Sadly, my dryer snagged it, pulling it out of shape, and it became unrepairable.  At least from the Renee skills point of view.  I just donated a few bags of clothes of mine, and this sweater would unfortunately have to make it into the trash if it didn't become my new Christmas sweater!  (although after Christmas it will most likely become a fatality...can't re-write destiny).

Materials:
Safety Pins
Christmas bows - as many or little as you want!
Sweater

Before we start, I'm warning you to expect throbbing fingers by the end!

Instructions:
 Decide where you want to pin the bows.  Using the safety pin, I strung it through the staple on the bottom of the bow.  Pin to the sweater in whatever pattern/design/cluster you want.

Mine is supposed to be a bow in the middle.  I personally think it looks like one, but Sid didn't think so.  But, he doesn't celebrate Christmas either, so I'm going to pretend he doesn't know what he's talking about.

This is, sadly, the best picture I have of me attending this year's Jingle Fells which is an Ugly Christmas Sweater bar crawl in Fells Point Baltimore:  Happy Holidays!
