36. The Drinking Game Sweater

This sweater looks like a bullseye. It has velcroid balls stuck to the bull’s eye so you have people pull the balls off and try to hit the bull’s eye.

However, if you miss the mark, then you must drink. It is an interesting game for an adult ugly sweater party.

37. The Snow Globe Sweater

This sweater is another really amazing idea. You put a plastic shirt over a regular shirt.

However, inside the plastic shirt, you stuff it with fake snow and other decorative ideas. It is traditional but so neat.

38. Tacky Shoes

This is another shoe idea that would accompany most of your ugly sweater ideas quite well.

If you are looking for something tacky but simple to make, then consider adding little pom-pom balls to your shoes.

39. God’s Gift to Women

Have you ever heard someone say, “He thinks he is God’s gift to women!” This ugly Christmas sweater brings that expression to life.

It is an easy one to recreate. You just put a gift tag on a shirt and write, TO: Women FROM: God.

40. Snow Globe DIY Ugly Sweater

This is another really nice sweater idea. You design a typical ugly sweater and add a reindeer or two to make the look complete.

Then finalize the look by following the tutorial to create a snow globe on the front of the sweater.

41. Abominable Snowman Throwing Up Candy

This sweater is festive and fun. It shows a festive abominable snowman that is surrounded by a garland on a typical sweater.

However, the finishing touch is that the snow monster is spitting out candy and other Christmas decorations.

42. Buddy the Elf Light Up Sweater

If you love the movie ‘Elf’, then you’ll like this sweater vest. It has a picture of Buddy the elf in the middle doing a typical pose of his.

Then the sweater is finished with lights and garland to give it a gaudy feeling that most ugly sweaters need.

43. Elf on the Shelf

So many families get into Elf-on-the-shelf each year at Christmas. I tried it with my kids, and they never got into it.

However, so many other families have found that it is a great way to encourage their children at Christmas and add some excitement to the season. This is why I think this sweater is so original and just fun all the way around.

44. Ugly Holiday Outfit

This holiday outfit is cute in my opinion, but it definitely isn’t something that you’ll want to wear on a regular basis.

However, if you’d like a festive outfit to wear to a party, then consider this cheerful skirt, candy-striped leggings, and add a festive shirt. You’ll definitely stand out.

45. Family Ugly Sweaters

These ugly sweaters show a style for each member of the family, no matter how small they may be. I love the idea though because it is so simple.

So if you have a few sweaters, you can just add some stick-on bows and a ribbon to the top. Then the whole family can have matching ugly sweaters.

46. Pink Flamingo Tacky Christmas Shirt

A lot of people like a Hawaiian Christmas. If you are one of those people, then this shirt is just for you. You’ll need a big pink flamingo to put on your shoulder.

Then you’ll need to create a felt Christmas tree to stick on the shirt. Finish the look with some lights, and you’ve got it made.

47. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

When I was a little girl, I loved the song “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” It probably still is one of my favorite songs because of how funny it is.

When I saw this sweater it was too cute not to share. You just put hoof prints on a sweater and look a little disheveled. Then you’ll have the look.

These shoes are another super simple idea to go along with a great tacky sweater.

You just get the cheap stick-on bows and attach them to your shoes. It is so simple to have perfectly tacky shoes.
