Ugly Christmas Sweater Ornament
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we love making Christmas crafts. They’re just so fun and they make so many happy memories. I particularly enjoy making DIY Christmas ornament crafts with the kiddo so that we can hang their crafts on the tree as part of our handmade ornaments. And the fact that this tacky Christmas sweater is actually super cute I’m definitely proud to call this one of my favorite Christmas tree ornaments for our holiday decor.
