I made a stocking for Jasper tonight. It was so easy! I actually didn't make the STOCKING part (I bought it a Jo Ann's), but I decorated it. I just got some felt, cut out his name and a crooked Christmas tree, and added rickrack and sequins. It was really fun and very inexpensive (the entire project cost less than $3- the undecorated stockings are on sale right now for $1.99).
I actually bought six of these stockings because I want to make them for all my kids someday and I don't know how many we're going to have and I want to be prepared. I know many of you are thinking "She's crazy! Six!" and some of you are thinking "Oh, that's so smart!" because who knows if I'll ever be able to find these exact stockings next year. So think what you will. Maybe I'll only have Jasper and be stuck with 5 undecorated stockings for Rob and I to fill for one another year after year...

Really cute stocking- did you just glue everything on? I think you are smart- it's a cheap investment and you'll always be able to find a use for them no matter how many kids you have.
Merry Christmas!
You are so crafty!
Go for 6!!!
Well I was thinking how smart you are! It turned out very cute. Check out my blog for Caroline pics.
Sara-I love it! I think the same way. Could you fit all six kids in one car? :)
I think it's great! I actually used one of our wedding gifts - a gift certificate to Pottery Barn - to buy that years close out stockings! I bought 6 total...we are hoping for 4 and only now have 1 on the way - and we had our names embroidered on and I figure all I have to do is get a name on each stocking as it's needed - I'm all about the matching stockings! And yours looks adorable!
very, very cute! I can see you are planning to have more babies very soon! :)
Look lady, you buy how ever many stockings you feel you need. HA. I also bought some close out Pottery Barn stockings last year. I bought 3. I just know there will be one more. And a fourth? Tough luck for that kid.
