\nEver get an oddly-colored, super-snazzy (ahem, ugly) sweater as a gift from a distant relative? Perhaps something that puts the \u201cerr\u201d in \u201cmerry\u201d?<\/p>\n

We asked each Inker to \u201cflaunt what your grandma made ya!\u201d And yesterday, as you can see in the photos below, they donned their jingle bells, appliqu\u00e9s, sequins and detachable collars, wearing their tackiest sweaters, sweatshirts<\/a>, and sweater vests<\/a> for our inaugural Ugly Sweater Day at CustomInk!<\/p>\n

After an Inker-wide vote, the \u201cugliest\u201d sweater won\u2026 drum roll please\u2026\u00a0 John H. (pictured above) wearing what we call his “Abducted Sheep” sweater! Good luck topping that one.<\/p>\n

Check out more of our participants in the photos below. Have you seen any ugly, er, festive sweaters this season? Want to make your own or even host an Ugly Sweater party? As you can see, you can do a lot with a sweatshirt (yes, that’s me in my homemade attire: a maroon sweatshirt decorated with a big tree complete with faux lights and presents underneath). Go ahead and customize one for your next tacky occasion!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
