This is something I thought would be cute to do for my boyfriend, my Mom use to make these for people during secret Santa. This is really my first try, but I thought it turned out alright and it's a cute idea!

You Will Need (1 thing)

  • Paper Bag , Mod Podge(Puzzle Glue), Scissors, Stapler, Imagination

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take a paper bag!

  2. 2

    Then rip open the bottom of the bag.

  3. 3

    Then Lay it down flat and draw your boot shape.

  4. 4

    Cut out your boots.

  5. 5

    You can crinkle them if you want, it adds some character and helps to hold its shape.

  6. 6

    Fold the top of the boots down to make cuffs and then staple the sides together.

  7. 7

    You can paint your stockings any color you want or you can Mod Podge magazine pictures to it (you have to Mod Podge it any way)

    I just used water color paints, acrylic is better to use though, but I didn't have any acrylics paints :C

  8. 8

    Then I glued cotton balls around the cuffs and then I mod podge'd it so it has a nice shine and holds its shape. I added a little glitter too, but you can't really tell.

    Then tad da! You have your Christmas stocking made out of a paper bag!
