If you're looking for a new craft project for the holidays, you can start with your sock drawer! Socks can easily be turned into Christmas stockings that you can use for decorations, or just as a real stocking waiting to be stuffed on Christmas Eve. Here's how to turn a sock into a Christmas stocking.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Pair of old/new socks in red, black, green or white
  • Colored markers
  • Beads
  • Sequins
  • Christmas stickers
  • Fabric glue
  1. Step 1

    Draw your Christmas design onto the socks. Sketch out a character, Christmas icon or a unique design to decorate.

  2. Step 2

    Add beads and sequins. Decorate the sock with beads and sequins to add a festive touch.

  3. Step 3

    Add some Christmas stickers. This is an easy way to decorate the socks if you're low on creativity!

  4. Step 4

    Fill the socks. If you're using the socks as a real Christmas stocking, wait until Christmas Eve to fill them. If they're only going to be decorations, fill them with newspaper or pillow stuffing.

  5. Step 5

    Hang them up! You're ready to display your masterpiece; hook them onto a mantel, the side of a table, or even to a tree if they're small enough.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be creative with the decorations and add bows, ribbon, piping and even Christmas confetti
  • Choose an oversized sock if you're going to fill it with candy and treats
  • Don't use old and worn-out socks; you're going to be decorating with them, so pick a pair that will look attractive!
