Today we’re kicking off the start of our Christmas crafts mini series!

For 12 days, I will share a short DIY tutorial with you that you can fully customize to your style and hopefully even use materials you already have at home!


WHAT YOU WILL NEED

A SMALL PIECE OF WOOD | PAINT | SCRAPBOOK PAPER | CONSTRUCTION PAPER | SCISSORS | STICKERS | PEN OR MARKER | YARN OR STRING | HOT GLUE GUN


HOW TO

  1. Paint a small piece of wood, set to the side and let dry.
  2. Using scrapbook and construction paper, cut out a piece just smaller than your wood to use as your main background. This will be what you glue all of your smaller pieces to.
  3. Create your stocking shapes out of various patterns and colors. Give each one a white background and cuff to make it stand out!
  4. For the best fit, I moved the 25th stocking to the top and gave it a fun background.
  5. Use stickers, paper or handwriting to write out your “25 days of Christmas”.
  6. Before gluing your stockings on, wrap a piece of string or yarn around the wood. This will give your stockings something to “hang” on!
  7. Glue on all of your stockings.
  8. Use stickers or handwrite the numbers onto each stocking.
  9. All done! If you want a little piece to move each day, cut out a little present shape (not pictured) and tuck it in the yarn!
