Step 1

Write your name in glue across the top portion of the stocking and sprinkle red, gold or green glitter across the glue. Make sure all the glue is covered. Shake off excess glitter.

Step 3
Use iron-on letters to personalize your Christmas stocking. Arrange letters appropriately on the stocking and then press in place with an iron.

Cut out Christmas shapes from holiday print fabrics and appliqué the shapes onto the stocking. Use Christmas cookie cutters as patterns for your appliqués.

Purchase or make pompoms or tassels to hang from the top of your stocking. See "How to Make Pompoms," under Related eHows, or "How to Make a Tassel" for instructions if you decide to make your own.

Step 6
Apply coordinating trim or cording around the cuff of your stocking. These can be sewn or glued on. Use metallic trimmings or trimmings done in holiday reds and greens.

Step 7
Trim the cuff of your stocking with fringe or lace. As with other trims, these items can be glued or sewn onto your stocking.

Step 8
Embroider your initials or name onto a fabric cuff. Try tacking down thin cording with a needle and thread to place your initials or name on a cuff that's furry or fuzzy. You can carefully glue the cording in place as well.
