I made these stockings out of spare fabric from another project about a year ago! I traced the pattern out of a 97 cent stocking from wal-mart and sewed the fabric with a simple straight stitch. Around the top of the stocking I hot glued a piece of crocheted lace for an added touch. With the lace on the top, I didn't even have to hem the top of the stocking. I took little pieces of the fabric and sewed in a loop to hang the stocking.
Really simple and unique, you can make a stocking to match any decor. I added a glitter letter ornament to the top, hung through the loop, for my roommates first initial. Without a fireplace in my house, we improvised and used the tv stand as our "mantel". We also had a fun stocking exchange where we each put different things in each other's stockings!
I was able to make these really cheap:
-The fabric I already had but was about $10 for 2 yards
-One roll of lace for $3
-Each ornament was less than $1
cute! love the initial ornaments idea! xo
