Lay the sweater out on a flat surface for optimal decorating. Then, apply tinsel garlands in a series of rows with a hot glue gun. Be careful with your fingers!

Continue decorating by adding Christmas ball ornaments. Disperse them evenly between the rows of tinsel garlands.

Adorn the collar and the rest of the sweater with little red bows. Add as you see fit. 

Finish off the Christmas flare by adding lights (optional) and gold beads as wrist fringe (ideal for people who are ready to groove).
