Today I created a Christmas Stocking that holds a secret gift card inside.
I created my own template and traced it once onto the polka dot paper and a second time onto the red paper for the back of the stocking. I paper pieced the heel and toe and then added faux stitching. My faux stitching looks a lot like my real stitching … a little uneven and wonky … but as my Grandma always told me "That's how they'll know it's hand-made".
I adhered the bottom of the stocking together and only taped the sides around the top, so the gift card has a place to slip inside. The top is about 4 1/4" wide flap that I decorated with Merry Christmas Washi Tape and Oval Gems before tying it closed with coordinating ribbon.
When you slide off the ribbon, this is what it looks like inside … decorated with some Silver Star Washi tape for sparkle.
