I have been thinking about making some stockings for Christmas since this past summer. So today I decided to try. I chose a natural oatmeal colored wool. I made my template using wood laminate flooring underlay. I wet felted the stocking and then needle felted a heart onto one of them. I think I like them nice and simple like this. These would be wonderful for small gifts...hmmmmm
Here's to hoping you had a stress free day :)
I love the way you've decorated your stocking!!
ReplyDeleteMy eldest daughter has 'put in her order' for a stocking for her puppy this Christmas...with ears on it!!
If you didn't see this last year, here are the ones I made then: http://woollove-functional-fiberart.blogspot.com/2009/12/stockings-were-hung.html

Lovely, Are you tempted to try it on just for the feel of it....(I would be) . Glad to see someone else as enthusiastic about felt as I am . I'm still just as obsessed with it and passing my second year....there is just so much to learn and try .
