DIY ugly sweaters for Christmas, couples' edition
If you and your partner have a lot of time on your hands, it might be fun to make your own ugly holiday sweater and make it a date day. Lynn Lilly, the founder of Craft Box Girls, proposes using items you already have on hand to make your sweater. Lilly suggests being creative and using old material, cotton balls, ribbon, and even stuffing from a pillow to make your creations.
1. DIY Christmas Present Ugly Sweater
Lilly came up with this idea for a Christmas present ugly sweatshirt (she doesn’t like sweaters) that she made with leftover wrapping paper and bows. She made the heart-shaped one for her, and suggested the second sweater use a square piece of felt for a box-shaped gift for your significant other. “You can take it to whatever level you want. If it’s me, I’m a little extra and my husband is more reserved,” she said. She also made a really fun Yeti sweatshirt that can be made for two.
2. Dash and Lily Christmas Tree Ugly Sweater
If you watched Dash and Lily, the adorable and implausible Netflix series, you may want to re-create Lily’s glue-gunned Christmas tree sweater dress. Here is a tutorial for how to make a similar one. Want to make it a couples' holiday sweater? Make this Dash (as in Dasher) reindeer ugly sweater that uses a cutout reindeer and fabric paint.
3. Mr. and Mrs. Ugly Christmas Sweatshirt
Making this ugly Christmas sweater from Creative Fashion Blog is sure to bring you closer to your significant other. It’s so colorful and fun and has the added bonus of looking pretty easy to make. There’s no sewing — just cutting and gluing!

Ugly sweaters should be hilarious and these ones definitely are.
4. Interactive Ugly Christmas Sweater
Tipsy Elves (as seen on Shark Tank) have some really fun Christmas sweaters, including The Office–themed sweater that says “Nice Package,” and Michael Scott saying, “That’s what she said.” I think we can agree that that line always works. For a themed couples' holiday sweater, the “You Miss, You Drink” interactive drinking game sweater is available for men and women and comes with six Velcro balls to throw at the bullseye.
5. Han Solo and Princess Leia Ugly Christmas Sweater
If you and your special someone love Star Wars and sarcasm, this Han Solo and Princess Leis sweater set is for you! It’s bold, it’s really red, and it has Princess Leia saying, “I love you,” and Han Solo saying, “I know.”
6. Naughty Ugly Christmas Sweater
It’s not officially the holidays until someone does something inappropriate. You and your partner can be those people with this amazing sweater for couples. You can also DIY this one using felt and some strategically placed bells.
