15 Fantastic DIY Christmas Stockings
When my husband and I first got married we made stockings for our first Christmas together: one for me, one for him and one for our dog Marley. Apparently we failed to consider making extras for future offspring. Ooops. Well, it’s no matter, it just gives me an excuse to DIY some new stockings this year, and you can be sure I’ll be making extras this time! In my search for stocking inspiration I came across quite a few cute Christmas stocking tutorials and I thought I’d share my favorites here with you. Happy crafting!

Upcycled Monogram Stockings
These are similar to my own DIY stockings this year in that I used old suiting found from a thrift store for the base – much cheaper than wool fabric from the fabric store and more environmentally conscious to boot! I love the button monograms – I may have to adapt them for my own stockings.
