Things You'll Need:
- Christmas stockings
- Thread
- Needle
- Felt
- Jewels, crystals, stones or beads
- Fabric
- Glue
-
Step 1
Embroider initials on all your Christmas stockings if you're an experienced seamstress. Use different colored thread for each family member. However, keep the same font for uniformity.
-
Step 2
Cut monogrammed letters out of felt. Glue the felt letters onto the Christmas stockings with no sew glue or with a hot glue gun.
-
Step 3
Create letters with beads, jewels or crystals. Attach them to the stocking with hot glue. Form your monogrammed letters for each stocking before you start gluing to make sure you have enough of the stones.
-
Step 4
Find a fabric you like that matches the stockings and cut out the letters. Sew the letters using an overstitch for a decorative embellishment as it covers the rough edges. Opt to adhere the letter to the stocking with fabric glue (see Resources).
-
Step 5
Make 3-dimensional letters by sewing two pieces of fabric together. Stuff each letter with a little cotton filling before attaching it to the Christmas stocking.
-
Step 6
Write on the stockings with fabric paint. Find glitter paints to add a shimmer to each monogrammed piece.
-
Step 7
Purchase an embroidery sewing machine or add software with monogram capability. However, be sure to check your machine's manual for details (see Resources).
