Materials and Supplies Needed for Ugly Sweater Garland

- Markers, Crayons and/or Colored Pencils
- Scissors
- Twine
- Clothespins
Directions
Decorate the sweaters with your own crazy designs. Mix up the use of markers, crayons and colored pencils to get super creative. It is totally okay to go all out and add things like glitter, pom-poms and other embellishments. Cotton makes a great Santa beard and doubles up as snow.
It is most fun when done with friends!
Once the sweaters are designed and colored, cut them out right outside the black outline. Use clothespins to hang them onto a long piece of twine. The garland can be any length.
They are darling tied onto gifts too!

Print the pattern on card stock for best results. Paper tears easily and won’t hold up nearly as well. It is even a great idea to trace the sweater pattern onto cardboard and decorate it with paint. You can seriously use the pattern in so many fun ways.
