Santa wont be able to resist stuffing these babies .
Its almost reveal time, friends!
Our DIY rustic Christmas mantel is just about complete.
If youve been following along, weve been decking out Janes fireplace mantel week-by-week leading up to the holidays.
Howd she get to be so lucky?
Ok, ok Ill move on :).
Were also pairing each new DIY with an ornament or Christmas-inspired craft we made last year.
I already had leftover flannel in a beautiful grey plaid pattern, which I wanted to use.
Light bulb went off!
Cut out the flannel using our free Christmas stocking pattern.
You will need to cut 2 pieces.
Cut the sweater using the stocking cuff template.
Cut ribbon at 5 long.
This will be the loop used to hang the stocking from the mantel.
Trim away 1/8 seam allowance.
Turn stocking right side in (or in other words, with right sides of flannel together).
Single stitch along the seam line another 1/4.
Sew the sides of the sweater rib together.
Sew the sweater cuff to top of stocking.
Fold cuff over and iron to remove creases and smooth out seams.
Hang on your fireplace mantel and begin filling with goodies!
Stay tuned for the full fireplace mantel reveal coming this week!
Do you hang stockings on your mantel?
