It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, it is… I love Christmas Time and I am so excited that finally December is here. Today I have 12 New Free Christmas Printables for you and I’m also sharing an adorable handmade gift idea that I put together using the Free Printables that you can get here at The 36th Avenue today!
Check out our new DIY Christmas Stockings!
Take a closer look!
I have received a bunch of emails this year asking me to create affordable gift ideas and these adorable card-stock stockings came right to my mind. They are so easy to assemble and they make great little gifts! First print the set that you like the best. I made a set of four small ones and one set of two large ones. Before you cut them make sure to get another piece of card-stock and lay the printable on top of it. Holding both at the same time start cutting the stockings, this way you will create a perfect back for all of your stockings. You can attach both sides together in different ways. You can glue them or you can sew them. I used my sewing machine to sew most of them together. As you can see my stitching is not that perfect!
However I think this is a perfect project and activity for the kiddos to make this Christmas.
They can assemble their stockings using yarn and give them to their friends, teachers, siblings and grandparents
with that satisfaction that children get when they say “I made this for you!”
DIY Stocking Tutorial
1
Get a long piece of yarn and tape the end of it. You may need scissors to make the end sharp.
2
As a mentioned previously place your printable on top of a piece of card stock and and holding both together cut the shape of the stocking. Now that you have a back and a front, hold them together and start punching small holes on the ends of each line.
3
Use the yarn to connect the back and the front of the stocking together.
4
When you are done tie both ends of the yarn on the front.
You can even write the name of the person you are giving the stocking to right on it.
Fill them up with your little gifts, notes, candy or gift cards and brighten up someone’s day!
Oh my cuteness!
