It’s the height of the holidays, which means that people everywhere are hunting for that perfect ugly Christmas sweater.  Whether you’re attending or hosting a full-blown ugly Christmas sweater party, wearing an ugly Christmas sweater to work, or just love the idea of ugly sweaters, then I’ve got the perfect craft for you today!

I’m going to show you how to make ugly Christmas sweater treat bags that are SO easy to put together.  With just a few inexpensive supplies and a few minutes, you’ll have your own army of ugly Christmas sweater treat bags. These treat bags are great for passing out to friends, family, co-workers, party guests, or even the mailman.  You can’t resist these ugly sweater treat bags (that actually are kind of cute), especially when they’re filled with Hershey’s Kisses Kissmas Sweater Chocolates!  Keep reading for the fun and easy treat bag tutorial that you can make this Kissmas. 😉

Ugly Christmas Sweater Treat Bags

Supplies:

• Fabric that has a sweater pattern
• Printable sweater template (optional)
• Fabric scissors
• Glue gun**
• Ribbon

**Disclaimer: Please exercise caution when using hot glue guns. Completed craft is for decorative purposes only, please do not eat candy included in the craft.

Step 1.  You can draw your own sweater template or use the one I came up with.  If you want to download mine, click here.  Cut out the template, then trace the template onto the back side of the fabric.

Step 2.  Cut around the sweater lines you traced, then cut out your sweater.  Repeat for the back piece of the sweater, making sure to flip the template around so both sides match when they’re placed back to back.

Step 3.  Place the two sweater pieces on top of each other with the pattern sides facing out.  Cut a piece of ribbon to make a handle.  Place a dot of glue onto each end of the ribbon.  Place each end of the ribbon on each side of the sweater to form a handle.

Step 4.  Doing a section at a time, add hot glue around the inside edges of the sweater front and back to adhere them together.  Glue all the way around the entire sweater EXCEPT around the rounded neck.  Do not glue the neck!  This hole is where the Hershey’s Kisses Kissmas Sweater Chocolates will go.

Step 5.  Fill up your sweater with some Hershey’s Kisses Kissmas Sweater Chocolate to match those sweaters.  I also added some Reese’s Miniatures Holiday Foils to the sweaters- they look like decorated Christmas trees in their green packaging with colored lights! Now comes the really fun part- giving these cute ugly Christmas sweater treat bags away.  Get ready for smiles, then a great big hug when they see what’s inside their sweaters.

The Hershey Company is also offering more festive treats exclusively at Walmart this holiday season that will inspire new ways to deck your halls and trim the tree.  Celebrate with Hershey’s with a three-pound Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar, giant Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates, and a one-pound Reese’s Peanut Butter Santa.  YUM!!  The perfect gift for that chocolate lover in your life.

Happy holidays!
