DIY "Ugly" Christmas Cat Sweater
Materials:
*Sweatshirt
*Tinsel ribbon
*Felt in the color of your choice (for the cat)
*Small beads (for the cat's eyes)
*Needle
*Thread
*Scissors
*Metallic marker
*Safety pins
*Mini ornaments (optional)
*Mini LED light string (optional)
Directions:
*Trace the cat silhouette given in the template below (or any cat silhouette of your choice) onto the felt and then cut out the cat shape.
*Sew the beads onto the felt to give the cat eyes.
*Wrap tinsel ribbon around the cat.
*Pin the cat onto the sweatshirt using safety pins. Try on the shirt to make sure you like the placement of the cat before you begin sewing.
*Sew the cat onto the shirt.
*Optional: Hang mini ornaments from the tinsel ribbon. I'm hoping to pick some up over the weekend to add to mine.
*Optional: Thread a mini LED light string through the tinsel. For mine, I placed the battery pack in my back pocket, wrapped the lights around my waist once, and then pulled them through the ribbons wrapped around the cat.
