Do you put out stockings in your house? Where do you leave them? Do you open them on Christmas morning or wait until later in the day?
This Christmas stocking design has a large space on the main part of it meaning that there’s lots of room for you to decorate with out it getting too fiddley – helpful if you are doing this with a young child. It’s designed as a large size that will print beautifully on to A4 or US letter size paper.
There are loads of ways you can decorate your stocking and your only restriction is your imagination and what materials you have at home.
Christmas Stocking Craft Ideas
One of the great thigs about a simple outline like this printable is that it’s really good for inspiring you and your child’s imagination.
We love the ideas below but I’m sure a quick root through your craft supplies will inspire you too.
Coloring
This template makes a great Christmas stocking coloring sheet. Just grab some markers, crayons or paint and use your favourite festive colours or make a fun pattern.
Mosaic
Cut shapes from colored paper, cardstock, scrap paper or magazines and use them to create a mosaic on the stocking.
This is a great way to practice scissor skills but if you’re making this craft with younger kids such as toddlers or preschoolers you might want to cut out the paper shapes for them.
Stickers
Stickers are a great way to decorate as they’re something that kids normally enjoy, they’re pretty affordable and they’re good for supporting fine motor skills too.
You could decorate your Christmas stocking with snowflake stickers or go for whatever theme your kid enjoys, whether that’s Santa or Paw Patrol.
Use Recycled Materials
Use scissors to cut out Christmas themed pictures from magazines, fabric scraps, comics or old Christmas cards and glue them onto your stocking.
Santa, Christmas trees and angels are perfect for this but we love cute pictures like unicorns or pugs too!
