For this DIY Christmas stocking project, you can use a thick wool felt or a craft felt. We used a thick wool felt, which you should be able to find in the aisle of your local fabric (or craft) store with all the felting tools and materials. Wool felt is a little sturdier than a craft felt, and it’s 100 percent wool, which makes it look and feel more quality in my opinion—that’s why I went with it.
You’ll cut out decorative shapes and sew them on the Christmas stocking. I’m adding reindeer and branches to my stocking, but you can add whichever shapes you like—stars, snowflakes, etc. Print out our templates on the blog post link, or draw your own. Trace the shapes onto fabric with chalk, then cut out with scissors.
Pin the front and back pieces together with the shapes facing in. Sew a 1/8" seam along the edge with a sewing machine (or by hand, or just glue.) Trim excess fabric if necessary. Turn inside out, then press with a warm iron. Finish by adding a loop or handle to the Christmas stocking, some decorative pom poms, and a felt name tag.
Now all you have to do is wait for Santa! This project is great because you don’t need much material to make one DIY Christmas stocking.
