You can make this ugly Christmas sweater in minutes with the step by step tutorial below. An ugly sweater party is one of the best new trends of the holiday season in my opinion. If you are invited to one, you will want to be sure to try to make this ugly Christmas sweater or another one that is equally as outrageous!
Supplies needed to make this ugly Christmas sweater:
Some links below may be affiliate links which means that you do not pay anymore but a portion of your purchase will go to support this site.
- Sweater (any old sweater you have will work)
- Glitter deer head
- Embroidery hoop
- Large white chenille stem
- Hot glue and glue gun
Separate the embroidery hoop and only use the inside portion. Wrap with the chenille stem until it is nice and full. This makes a great mini wreath for your deer head. The chenille stems have wire inside of them so it actually does not even need any glue.
Add a piece of cardboard inside your sweater so you will be sure not to glue the front to the back. Then use hot glue to add on your deer head with the “wreath” in place as shown. I glued the neck to the sweater first.
You will also have to glue the antlers to the sweater to keep the deer head from sagging when you are wearing this amazing sweater.
That is it! Your ugly Christmas sweater is complete! You too can make this ugly Christmas sweater in minutes and be the hit of the party. If you are invited to an ugly sweater party, be sure to give making your own sweater a try. You will love the results.

Cute idea! I’m going to an ugly sweater party next weekend and haven’t gotten to scour the thrift stores yet. Making my own is a very good option! Visiting from Made By You Mondays.

Angie, this post inspired me to make my own ugly Christmas sweater. The student council in the school where I teach decided that the faculty should come to school next Tuesday wearing ugly sweaters and the kids will judge which is the ugliest. I gave away my crazy holiday sweaters years ago and refuse to pay $20 in the store. So I went to Dollar Tree, bought two Christmas stockings that I will dissect and make into appliques for an old red sweater I own. Thanks! If I hadn’t seen the post, I don’t think this inspiration would have come!
BTW… I am hosting a one-time-only party Sun Dec 18 for crafts and holiday decor…please stop by!

How could anybody not be inspired Angie with these too funny, too ugly version of Christmas sweaters? I was cracking up and Mr.Furry also when I showed him what you’d made. Your green sweater is really nice tho, can still see sweater behind decorations. Looks warm and cozy and pretty, good color on you.
Will ask daughter if they get invited to ugly sweater party if she’d like me to make them couple of these. These are hilarious, good job.
Happy daze
