We want to see the ugliest holiday sweaters you can create!

Decorate a sweatshirt or sweater with your materials of choice - felt, yarn, LEDs, plastic, clock gears, buttons, etc! As long as it's over-the-top and ugly, you're good to go.

We'll be giving two grand prizes - one for Ugliest Holiday Sweater and one for Most Creative Use of Materials. :D
