Directions
Let’s discuss concerning the DIY steps. That is E-A-S-Y. There’s nothing on this that you could’t simply see from the photographs, however I’ll nonetheless clarify all of the steps simply in case you’re interested by precisely how I did it.
1. First, lower out 24 stockings from felt. I primarily used felt I already had, so it’s a combination between excessive and low high quality (and I’m a-OK with that!). I made a couple of paper templates for stocking shapes and used them to chop out all of the stockings.
I didn’t need mine to be precisely the identical sizes and styles, however you are able to do that if you’d like a extra unified look. Subsequent, embellish every stocking on the highest facet with hand embroidery and/or by gluing issues onto the stockings.
2. Machine sew or hand-stitch every stocking. Then, add a loop to the highest of every stocking with felt or yarn (one thing to hold them from).
3. Paint small wooden stars white and drill or punch holes. Use a stamp set so as to add numbers one by way of 24.
4. Add the celebrities to the stockings with string.
5. Use picket rods, yarn, and wooden beads to make the hanging construction. You may see beneath that my stockings are completely connected to the rods, however you possibly can tie them on as an alternative in the event you’d like to have the ability to take away them every day.
Bonus step: After I used to be accomplished, I needed so as to add slightly extra element, so I hung a bunch of bigger picket stars on the rods.
6. Fill your stockings with sweet, small toys, and notes with enjoyable actions like films to observe, crafts to do or particular locations you’ll go every day.
Notice: For those who don’t have the time to make your individual this 12 months, there are a number of cute felt calendars on the market, or you possibly can simply purchase the mini stocking half and go from there to avoid wasting slightly time.
