Making a Cricut stocking is a great way to add a personal, custom touch to your holiday decorations! With the Cricut machine and some materials, you can design and create your own unique stocking that will be the highlight of your mantle. Here are the steps to making a Cricut stocking:
Step One: Gather your materials. You will need felt or fabric, batting, thread, scissors, an iron and ironing board, a sewing machine or needle and thread (depending on the type of fabric you choose), and some decorative elements like ribbon or trims.
Step Two: Design your stocking. Use the Cricut machine to create the design for your stocking. You can choose from many pre-made designs, or create one yourself. Once you have chosen a design, cut it out with the Cricut machine and place it on your felt or fabric.
Step Three: Assemble your stocking. Cut two pieces of felt or fabric to match the size of the Cricut-cut template. Place batting between them and sew them together using either a sewing machine or needle and thread. Trim off any excess fabric with scissors.
Step Four:Add decorative elements. Add any ribbons, trims, glitter, pom-poms, buttons etc that you want to use as decorations for your stocking. Sew them onto the front piece of fabric using either a sewing machine or needle and thread.
Step Five:Finish up. Iron your stocking so that all of the seams are flat and crisp looking. Flip it inside out so that all of the seams are hidden inside then sew up any open edges along the top edge of your stocking with either a sewing machine or needle and thread.
Conclusion:
Making a Cricut stocking is an easy way to add some personal flair to your holiday decorations this year! All you need is some felt or fabric, batting, thread, scissors, an ironing board and iron and some decorative elements like ribbon or trims—plus of course access to a Cricut machine!
Following these steps will help you make sure that your finished product is perfect for hanging on the mantle this holiday season!
