- Your old stocking can be used to provide you the basic outline for making the new one. First trace the outline on a paper and according to the size cut out two pieces of the same shape from the fabric you choose to make the stocking. Then sew the two pieces together. Make sure you have the matching threads for all the colors you wish to make your Christmas stocking. If you want to have the cuffs of furs or velvet, measure the thickness you want to devote to the cuff border and cut out the border in a thick horizontal strip. After you have stitched the body, attach the cuffs. Make loops by piercing holes if you want a ribbon to adorn the cuffs.
- If you don’t want to spend much on fabrics, paper can also be a good medium for attractive stockings. With the most common things readily available at home, like thick brown paper, glue, yarn of any color and scissors, you can create magic. Make an outline of any stocking on a brown paper, and cut out two pieces of the same shape. Then join the two with glue, and pierce holes on the edges. You may weave ribbons or yarn through these holes, which may appear as laces. Ultimately, decorate it with poster colors by making patterns.
- Appliqués can also be quite useful if you want to redecorate your old stockings and give it a new appeal. Bells, stars and tassels also come in handy.
