Hello Everyone!
I wanted to share another Fun and Inexpensive holiday crafting idea.
I first learned of this idea about a year or so ago from a forum. But this year I changed it up a bit.
Okay, First off….
The Dollar Tree sells these adorable socks.
I bought about 20 pairs when I first heard of the idea, but don’t worry they still carry them.
In fact, I just saw some there Monday.
*I also saw some at Target, but they were $5.00 a pair there.
**These are long socks, measuring approx. 21” from the top to the toe.
Any way, go to the DT, look in the sock dept., buy you a pair or 2 or 20!
Bring them home, soak them in tea or coffee.
Lay them flat to dry.
When they are dry add a loop to the top of each and poof!
You have primitive pair of Christmas stockings!!
(These measure approx. 23” long counting loop.)
I also added a bell to the top of each one of mine.
They are actually grubbier than they are appearing in the photo. Stupid camera! ;)
This year I decided I wanted some without the fur on top.
So I simply got out my scissors, cut it off at the seam.
Turned them inside out, and sewn a small hem.
They turned out so cute!
(These measure approx. 18. 5” long)
*Same pair, just two different views.
I took another furless pair and added some reproduction homespun patches and used them same fabric for the loops.
(These measure approx. 20.5” long.)
Not bad for a buck each, huh!
Oh, one more quick thing before getting to the giveaway.
Look at this wonderful wrapping paper the DT also has.
It is hard to tell in the photos but the color is barn red and brown.
Awesome!
Now back to the stockings.
I have decided to do a giveaway for the 3 pairs of stockings shown in this post.
I will be choosing 3 winners!!
How this will work is…
I will pick the 1st winner. They will get to chose which of the 3 pairs they want.
Then I will pick a second name and they will chose from the 2 pairs of stocking left.
Then I will pick a 3rd name and they win the remaining pair.
~Make sense?? :)
There is only 2 Rules to enter:
~ #1 You must be a follower of my blog.
*Yes, new followers are welcome.

I love your stockings, they are so cute!
I was just in the $ Tree and I didn't see any, but then again, I wasn't in the stocking dept, either. I think our store is small, I don't find some things in there that others are finding.
Please enter me in your giveaway.
Bear Hugs & Blessings~Karen
Hi Tam,
It would be much easier to win a pair that you've completed than go out and make my own stockings from the socks at the DT! I am a follower and would love to be entered. Thanks. ~Ann
Hi Tam! Sign me up 'cause I'm a follower! I'll have to venture out tomorrow and go find some; these are super cute! These would be great with a homemade Santa man!!

Love the stockings! Please enter me in your drawing! Thanks, Donna
Just so you know Tammy, those little socks and that wrapping paper must all be sold out in Ohio. I have been to every Dollar Tree I can find and no one has either.
Still it was fun hunting for them. Its not like I left the stores empty handed or anything like that though.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
AMY
Cute stockings Tam! I'll have to check out DT...love the wrapping paper too. Joanns had some great paper last year-prim looking brown background with sweet candycanes...I bought about 6 rolls. lol...I wanted to say Thank you for the sweet ornies that you sent to me from Amy's swap...They are awesome and on my prim tree right now. I will post pics when the final one comes in.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
