Hello
lovelies! I wanted to share my new DIY Christmas Stockings made
from painter's drop cloths. Yes, you read that correctly. I have
learned a lot of fun treats to make with this surprisingly
pretty and durable fabric out there in the blogosphere. Here are a
few examples:
Drop Cloth
Curtains from Lovely.Crafty.Home.
Drop Cloth Dust Ruffle from Between You and Me
Drop Cloth Upholstered Headboard from Apartment
Therapy
Not only
is this fabric super duper cheep (you can get a 'contractor' pack
that contains 2 hemmed 9 ft x 6 ft panels for $9.99), but it is the
most lovely shade of neutral taupe-y gray and has great texture. I
added a multi stripe cotton ticking fabric for the lining, grass
green ball fringe as trim, a jingle bell for the toe and iron-on
rhinestone letters to complete the look.
I
just kind of whipped these guys up by free-hand drawing the elf toe
stocking shape on to the drop cloth fabric and going from there.
However, if you are looking for a more structured approach,you can
check out the complete tutorial for this very project over at
Tater Tots and Jello or Lovely.Crafty.Home.
Congratulations on the sweet guest post by my good friend and
partner in crime, Rachael!
For
more inspiration, check out
this Tip Junkie post. I think I contains a link to every DIY
Stocking tutorial on the web.
Oh, and a
special thank you to Jen from Make, Do &
Review who was kind enough to send the iron-on letters to me in
a care package. Thanks Jen!!!
