Christmas stockings and Nativity...


I wanted to make some stocking to put in my basement that matched the style of my tree and my red ones just didn't fit the bill. I made these three out of painters drop clothe, you can buy it at Lowes or Home Depot it's really inexpensive. I made my own pattern and sewed them up. Added some burlap and stained wood letters-for my three sons names. wrapped twine around the letters and added some buttons and greenery. easy peasy!

I have never had a place to put my Nativity and now I do. I didn't have a stable to put it in so I made a crate and stained it. TaDa!! a stable!

Merry Christmas and Happy decorating to you!

  1. I LOVE your stockings! Actually, I think I love them more than the burlap ones that I made. I do have some painters drop cloth, and some leftover burlap, HMMMMMM? I may just have to copy yours.

  6. I really like how you used the crate for the nativity scene. Gives a nice rustic look. And that Rod is awesome. I'm going to be in AZ in June... wonder if I'll remember it that long! ;)

    1. Also, did you seam the burlap? It seems so smooth as opposed to the ragged edge when cut. Thanks again!
