I had a high school religion teacher who wore ugly sweaters like it was her job. She did it with a straight face. Without an ounce of irony. She rocked those things on the daily and looked a hot mess each and every time I saw her. She looked like the punch line to every joke ever told….but she was the religion teacher…so you couldn’t really make fun of her. Because, I am quite sure that gets you a one-way ticket to the fiery down under. But now that I think about it, the joke’s on us. Turns out her ugly sweaters are cool again. Sort of.
The whole ugly Christmas sweater phenomenon is alive and well – and has now reared it “ugly” head in the craft world, where ugly Christmas sweaters are popping up all over the place. My Favorite Things is one such place where you can find all your crafty ugly sweater needs with their new Comfy Sweater Die-namics set. I grabbed up these dies as soon as I saw them and today, I’m gonna walk you through my idea for an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.
Now, most parties of this nature require your guests to show up donning some wretched beast of a sweater that looks like it was rescued from the clearance rack of a Cracker Barrel. My version of an ugly sweater party is much less itchy. My version is all about the crafting! Get your friends together and craft up the ugliest sweaters you can imagine…and the best part is…it’s impossible to mess up! The uglier, the better. For this party, use the My Favorite Things Sweater Dies to create holiday gift tags that are oh so cute…I mean, ugly.
The supplies you’ll need to host a crafter’s ugly sweater party are easy to find at your craft store. Just load up on embellishments that catch your eye. The gaudier the better! Throw everything out on the table and let your friends get creative. You can pre-cut a bunch of sweater shapes so that everyone can get right to it. The goal here is to make assembly easy! Steer clear of supplies that require lots of time and effort like heat embossing or laborious coloring.
And just in case you still need some direction on assembling the ugliest of sweaters, I’ve got you covered with the Damask Love 2015 Ugly Sweater Winter Collection. Let me introduce you to the line up:

Thanks for helping me to get new strategies about pcs. I also have the belief that certain of the best ways to maintain your notebook computer in perfect condition is to use a hard plastic-type case, or perhaps shell, that matches over the top of the computer. A majority of these protective gear usually are model distinct since they are manufactured to fit perfectly in the natural housing. You can buy these directly from the owner, or through third party sources if they are intended for your mobile computer, however its not all laptop could have a covering on the market. All over again, thanks for your recommendations.
Thanks for your write-up. I would like to opinion that the first thing you will need to accomplish is determine whether you really need fixing credit. To do that you need to get your hands on a copy of your credit rating. That should really not be difficult, ever since the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to acquire one no cost copy of your actual credit report per year. You just have to inquire the right persons. You can either find out from the website owned by the Federal Trade Commission or contact one of the leading credit agencies straight.
