Hi everyone! I’m back with a Christmas stocking I created! This is one of those project that I had actually made last year but never got around to sharing. Christmas time is always a crazy time for me and by the time it had slowed down Christmas was already over. So, I held onto it to share this year. I used the Stocking Gift Card Holder Diecut by Brenda Walton (retired) and the Make it 3D Diecut by Eileen Hull (retired) to create this little treat box. You could use one of Eileen’s other dies that has a “pocket” to create the same 3D effect also. So let’s get started!
First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to both side of a piece of Chipboard, add patterned cardstock to both sides before placing onto the Stocking Gift Card Holder Diecut (retired) and running through the Diecut Machine. I cut two stockings out and three of the “sides” from the Make it 3D Diecut (retired) and those were cut from plain cardstock.
Second, I cut more “notches” into the tabs so they I could manipulate the Make It 3D die “sides” around the edge of the stocking.
Third, after getting the Make It 3D sides adhered around the stocking I started gluing the second stocking onto the other tabs.
Fourth, before the second stocking is completely glued down I cut a strip on cardstock for inside the stocking to cover the different sections of the sides and adhered in place.
Fifth, I cut a strip of patterned cardstock for the outside edge of the stocking and glued around the Make It 3D die sides for a finished look.
Sixth, I cut and glued a piece of lace around the top of the stocking to create a cuff. I also added bits of thread, ribbon, seam binding, cording, pearl spray and a poinsettia and gold leaf to the corner of the stocking.
Seventh, I glued pom pom trim to the edge of both sides of the stocking. I punched a hole in the cuff and tied a piece of ribbon so it can be hung up.
Do you think these are adorable? I do and I can’t wait to make more! You can add candy or little gifts such as chap sticks, jewelry, ink pens, etc to this for a fun gift.
