I have several things to post from December!
I'm playing catch-up. So excuse the month delay!
I went to one of my favorite stores, Prune Orchard, in Pullman Washington. They had really cute stockings and of course I wanted them, but they also were $16 each. To much for my small budget. I tried to find a cute knit pattern, but didn't find any I liked.
I decided to buy some linen and make my own.
I didn't want them to be to wide, because I wanted them to fit well on the stockings board I just made, so I made them long. I drew them out with a pencil, cut them, and sewed them with felt inside for support. I spent $10 all together.
I wanted each of our stockings to be unique but look good all together.
And of course I love the Shabby Chic, vintage inspired look.
I added bits of plaid and burlap to each to give them an older look.
I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
Tanner's, Mine, Taya's, Paige's and Abby's
I just need to add our names, any good ideas? Right now I'm thinking about using pre-cut letters that are one a thick card stock and painting them with gold glitter.... Sound cute?
i don't know about names, i like em how they are. i'm not one who thinks they HAVE to have names on em. they're really cute and everyone will remember who's is who's. well done, chelle, i love how they turned out. maybe i'll try to make some for next yr.
