So, you’re ready to get crafting? Excellent! Here’s what you’ll need:

Got everything you need? Great - let’s dive right in!
Cut It Out!
The first step is to cut out your stocking template. You can do this by carefully following the outer lines of the template with a pair of scissors. Remember to keep an eye on the curved parts - these can be a little tricky, but just take your time and you’ll be just fine!
Choose Your Fabric
Now for the fun part - picking out the perfect festive fabric for your stocking! You could go for a classic red and white combo, or mix it up with something a little different - maybe a tartan or a fun pattern? It’s totally up to you!
Cut Your Fabric
Once you’ve picked out your fabric, it’s time to cut it to size. Lay your template onto your chosen fabric, making sure that the wrong side of the fabric is facing up. Now carefully trace around the edge of the template with a pen or pencil - this will give you a guide for cutting out your fabric. Using your trusty scissors, cut around the edge of the template, making sure to keep your cuts as clean and accurate as possible.
Let’s Get Sticking (Or Taping!)
Once you’ve got your fabric all cut out, it’s time to stick it onto your template. You can use either glue or double-sided tape for this - whatever you’re most comfortable with. Simply apply a thin, even layer of glue or tape to the back of your fabric, then carefully stick it onto the corresponding part of the stocking template. Keep going until you’ve covered the entire stocking with your chosen fabric.
The Finishing Touches
Now for the really fun part - the finishing touches! This is where you get to add all those jazzy trimmings we mentioned earlier. Ribbon, bells, tassels, glitter - whatever takes your fancy! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Add a glittery snowflake to the front of your stocking for that extra festive touch.
- Tie a big, fancy bow to the top of your stocking.
- Add a big, fluffy pom-pom to the toe of your stocking.
- Why not add your own name to the stocking in glittery letters?
Once you’ve added all your trimmings, sit back and admire your handiwork. You’ve just made the most fabulous Christmas stocking around!
