Here are two little denim Christmas stockings I created last year using the Stampin' Up! exclusive Big Shot Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die. They are a his and hers country style pair of Christmas stockings that measure 5-1/2" x 4-3/4" and are very easy to make. These are no-sew Stampin' Up! fabric projects, so they are quick and easy.
Because the Holiday Stocking Die is a Bigz Die, it will cut many different materials. Notice the leather on both stockings above. I had some leather scraps and thought I would try them out on the Big Shot. I was elated with the results! The denim came from an old pair of jeans, so they have an authentic, worn look. And the jeans were headed to Good Will. Instead, I decided to put them into my scrap bin and repurpose them. I adhered the front and back of these denim Christmas stockings with fabric glue and also attached the leather cuffs and trim that way. Super easy and no sewing!
The trims are also from Stampin' Up! The lace is the 5/8" Crochet trim (118481) and the holly leaves and snowflake are the Winter Wishes Stitched Felt pieces from last year's Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. Although they are retired, they are still available in the Stampin' Up! Clearance rack! You get 16 pieces for just $3.99!
