We make our stockings for our kids, cause they're so personal and not hard! You just cut out a stocking shape out of felt. Cut out some shapes of a design you want on it. I made a cup of cocoa, with whip cream, a candy cane, and marshmallows around the bottom. They don't have to be perfect. That's what makes them cute!
Then you simply stitch them on with embroidery floss. After the front is done, you sew the back and front together and then blanket stitch the sides. Originally I used fabric paint to write the names on. I wanted to keep them all matching so, each time we have a child I use the others as templates to copy. Simple, a little time consuming, but fun! And another item to hand into the county fair next year! Ha!
