Making a pretty life pretty simple!

DIY Christmas Sweatshirt with HTV

December 8, 2020 DIY Projects, Holiday, Silhouette

We know that ugly Christmas sweaters are an iconic part of the holiday season, but what if there was a festive holiday sweater you actually wanted to wear? (You know, one without any bells or tinsel attached to it?) Well, today we are making it happen with our trusty Silhouette Portrait! This machine might be small, but it is mighty and can help you create everything from holiday decor to one-of-a-kind gifts! Having a Silhouette cutting machine blows the possibilities wide open for what you can make during the holidays, and it'll feel like Christmas every time you sit down to make something with it!

We used this magic machine to make these colorful and fun DIY Christmas sweatshirts that you can make for yourself, or to twin with a loved one! We love that they turn the idea of an ugly Christmas sweater on its head a bit, and make dressing for the holiday a little more modern! Plus, the process could not be easier and the results are anything but ugly!

Here is what you'll need:
