'Tis the season for holiday parties galore, which sometimes means you need last-minute ugly Christmas sweater ideas.

We get it —you’ve been busy decorating the tree, picking up candy canes, and taking your kids to see Santa at the mall. If you haven’t had time to get a kind of ugly, kind of cute Christmas sweater yet, we’re here to help.

Using some quick tricks and hacks, we’ve put together a tacky Christmas sweater that features the best accessory ever – your Pair!

This ugly holiday sweater is a fun project you can complete in under 30 minutes. Read on to find out how you can win your next ugly sweater contest by a landslide.

What You’ll Need for This Holiday Sweater

Here’s what you’ll need for this Christmas Craft:

  • An old sweater — look for a green crew neck if you have one
  • Tinsel
  • Mini assorted ornaments —you can pick these up for cheap on Amazon, a bargain store like Dollar Tree, or your local thrift store
  • Hot glue
  • Small magnets
  • Your favorite Top Frames

How To Make the Best DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater

Now, let’s get started.

  1. Start by laying out your crewneck and determining how long you need to cut your tinsel.
  2. Next, secure your tinsel with the hot glue gun.
  3. For the next step, evenly space out and secure your ornaments with hot glue. While we like to use mini ornaments, such as tiny snow globes, snowmen, snowflakes, and pom-poms, feel free to use any colors, shapes, and sizes that you prefer! A

For instance, add a gingerbread man or some antlers to make it look like Rudolph. If you’re feeling extra creative, add some bells to jingle all the way or Christmas lights to light up like a tree! Do whatever you think it’ll take to win “Ugliest Sweater” at the ugly Christmas sweater party.

  1. Once the Christmas tree ornaments are down and secure, you can start adding the magnets between them. Make sure you have enough space between each magnet, as you don’t want your Top Frames magnetizing together!
  2. Now, the real decorating begins! Explore the Pair collection and pick out your favorite Top Frames to accessorize your special sweater. The best part is that throughout the night, you can change and snap on other Top Frames whenever you want!

It’s that simple! We can’t wait to see all the fun Pair sweaters you make this holiday season.
