Blue Jean Christmas Stocking Craft

For this teen Christmas stocking craft you will need these supplies:

• Old pair of blue jeans
• Boot template
• Scissors
• Pom-pom ribbon
• Felt fabric stickers
• Sewing machine
• Needle and thread
• Ruler

Directions

Print out the boot pattern for the stocking here. Place this pattern at the bottom of an old pair of jeans and trace the boot part. Add 4 inches to the top(or more if you wish) and draw a line, as shown in the picture.

Cut out the pattern in the jeans and do not cut the folded edge. Sew the sides around the boot but not the top and the folded edge.

Cut off a belt strap from your old pair of blue jeans and hand sew on the top in a loop for your stockings hanger.

Decorate the front of the stocking. I used some fabric glue and felt pieces and a strip of pom-pom trim. Distress the edges using a brush and pulling at the threads of the blue jeans.

Variations:

• Use stencils to paint a design on the front of the stocking.
• Sew lace around the top of the stocking and ink it to give it an old vintage look.
• Make school spirit stockings for a fund raiser. Use felt to cut out your school letters and glue them on with fabric glue.
