Hello Yak fans – happy holiday season! Are you loving all the Christmas music, lights, and decorations? Here at Yak our favorite part of the holiday season is spending time with family, and seeing all the festive decorations – so today we’ve got a fun DIY stocking tutorial you can do with family to help you get in the holiday spirit.

What You’ll Need:
Felt
Thread
Embroidery floss
Craft Glue
Any embellishments you wish to add (buttons, beads, sequins, etc.)
Instructions:
Using an old piece of newspaper, cut out a template in the shape of a sock. Cut out a front and back piece.
Lay the template over the felt and cut out the front and back pieces.
Sew the stocking together, leaving the top open with a ¼ inch seam allowance.
Either blanket stitch around the edges of the stocking with embroidery floss, or use textured sewing scissors to trim the edges.
Cut a 3 inch by ½ inch strip of felt and attach it (preferably by sewing, vs. gluing for a stronger hold) to the top corner of the stocking.
Use craft glue to attach embellishments to the front of the stocking. You can also use felt or embroidery floss to add a name or initials to the stocking.
