Simple Christmas Stocking Decorating Ideas Puffy Paint
Courtesy of Studio DIY
While some of the Christmas decorations you break out every year are timeless, it's nice to refresh a few items. One of the easiest items to swap? Christmas stockings. Whether you buy brand new ones or try your hand at creative DIYs, new stockings offer the opportunity to give your mantel a fresh, festive look. Maybe you want to go with a rustic look by turning burlap bags into stockings. Maybe you want to skip the red and green theme and go for summery, fruit-inspired stockings. Or maybe you're on the hunt for a quilted bone stocking for your dog. In any case—no matter what your crafting skill level or prince range—at least one of these stocking ideas will speak to you and ensure your mantel is expertly dressed up for the holidays. Oh, and once you have your stockings set, make sure to check out our favorite gifts to tuck inside!

Go for Stripes
Stripes are reminiscent of candy canes, so it only makes sense to incorporate them into your decor. Pro tip: To get your DIY stocking to lay flat, don't forget to trim the seam allowance along the heel and toe. Removing the excess fabric prevents any bumps or wrinkles.
