Whether you want personalized Christmas stockings, or just want something more than box store Christmas stockings, you can expect to spend some serious Christmas money. Unless you are a DIY er that is. Let me show you how to customize inexpensive store bought Christmas stockings with just a little money and a little tie.

Purchase a Good Quality Inexpensive Christmas Stocking


Don’t skimp on quality. Sure, if you find some good quality stockings at the dollar tree, purchase them. Just make sure they are well sewn with strong straight seams. No lopsided stockings allowed.

Purchase Pom Pom and Tassel Trim to Coordinate with Your Color Scheme


This particular year, the family room was decked out in Christmas green and teal. So I chose to add teal trims to the stockings.

Fold the Original Red Velvet Collar Inside


No red velvet was harmed in this DIY. I simply folded it down inside the stocking. After all, you never know when red and green will be my color theme of choice!

Glue (or Sew) The Trims on the Stocking


For me, the glue gun is perfect for this DIY project. Especially when I have 10,000 more projects to get completed. I could whip stitch trim right into place, it’s not that difficult. But, I love the glue gun for speed!

Hang By the Chimney with Care


Now, it is time for the pay off. Let’s hang those stockings by the chimney with care! Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project. There are tons more like this on my blog!! Enjoy Today's DIY.
