This stocking is made from an old pair of Jeans from the Flea Market. I do not have a sewing machine so i had to use my dear hot glue gun instead. The "pocket" is a decoupaged paper napkin.
Total time: 15 minutes
Total Costs: 1,05€
Materials:
- Jeans ( 1€)
- Pencil + Scissors
- Napkin ( 99 cents for a pack of 20, that makes less than 5 cents per napkin)
- Decoupage ( or Mod Podge) + soft paintbrush
- Red Marker
Instructions:
1. Draw the shape of a stocking onto one "leg" and cut out both layers of fabric at the same time. I drew mine by eye but you can find a template here at Martha Stewart.
2. Apply hot glue all along the inside edges of both layers, stick them together and leave to cool.
3. Cut out a strip of fabric, fold it in half and adhere both ends to the back of the stocking to create a hook.
4. Cut the napkin into the shape of a back pocket, remove the top layer and place it on the stocking. Use a soft paintbrush and apply the Decoupage carefully, then let it dry.
5. ( optional)
I did not like the yellow seams, so i painted them red with a permant marker. Moreover i used the marker to imitate stitches along the edges.
And that's it!
