There are a lot of places from which you can source the materials you will need for this project involving velvet Christmas stockings and it will be a good idea to shop around to get the best deals on fabrics and the like. When it comes to the decorative pieces your local craft or hobby shop will be able to help you out.

The craftier you are the better your velvet Christmas stockings will turn out to be. After you have cut out your sock pattern, two pieces for each of your velvet Christmas stockings, glue or sew them together while keeping the top part open.

You may want to add some lace on the top edge for a nicer stocking and then decorate it according to your preference. As you decide on the decorations, it will be a good idea to consider where you will be using the stocking for. Put the name of the person for whom the stocking is for on the top part as this will add a more personalized look and then decide on themes for your velvet Christmas stockings. With this project the important thing to remember is that you are spending time with your loved ones and so it is not entirely the turn out that matter but being able to work together and share that particular moment.
