Drop Cloth and Sweater Stockings

It’s the perfect day for another Christmas craft, yeah? I’m so excited to be taking part in a fun 25 Days of Christmas Series hosted by Jessica of Dear Emmeline. You can find all of the other projects in the series below!

Today, for my Christmas project, I’m sharing my new Drop Cloth Sweater Stockings!

Drop Cloth Sweater Stockings!

Because we welcomed a new family member this year, I was going to have to make a new stocking for Little Man anyway. So I just decided to make new ones for the entire family :)

I used a painter’s drop cloth and an old sweater from the Goodwill to make the stockings and I also lined them with a thin batting to make them a little thicker.

And I finished them off with monograms stained in American Walnut and a few trimmings!

And I can’t wait for you to see them in my Holiday Home Tour! Stay tuned.
