BURLAP RUSTIC NO-SEW CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS

This is one of the first blog posts that I wrote in 2016 but never published. Maybe it's time πŸ˜€

This Christmas I've decided to decorate my cozy New York apartment in rustic chic style - pretty raw and rough but with occasional sparkles and smooth silky fabric. It is pretty simple to make theseΒ burlap rustic no-sew Christmas stockings. Let me show you how I did it.

It would be easier with a sewing machine, but since I don't own one I had to come up with some other solution, which is a glue gun, but you are welcome to use any other tools to simplify the process.

Materials:
  • Burlap
  • Glue gun
  • Jute twine
  • Beige velvet (I got a piece in Fashion District where they even gave me a discount because the seller adored Aspen, my beloved American Eskimo :))
  • Wood buttons
  • Burlap flower, tutorial here.
  • White lettersΒ (Michael's has great variety and awesome discounts)

Instructions:

  1. Make a template of a stocking. With chalk draw a contour, leaving 1 in extra on all the sides.

  2. Burlap is a very tricky material and can leave little fibers. It's important to cut it in a certain way so it won't unravel unevenly. Great tutorial for it isΒ here.
  3. You should get something like this. I prefer to cut it leaving plenty of space on the sides for easier trimming later.
  4. Our next step is to cut out velvet. In my case, it's 7 inches, but it could be customized.

  5. Glue velvet parts to burlap

  6. Don't forget to add a velvet hook to it.
  7. Glue two parts of stockings together by the drawing lines.

PIN FOR LATER>>>>>>>>

 

  1. Glue together parts of velvet
  2. Using jute twine we do simple edging stitch all over ourΒ stocking. I was cutting edges to the shape right before stitching in order to avoid the unraveling of burlap.

  3. We are almost done! Just need to decorate our stockings by theme or with any scraps that you have by your side. For my stocking, I used some lace, burlap flower, wooden buttons, and white letters with our initials. Of course, Aspen got a stocking as well. We will fill it up with his favorite bones and snacks on Christmas Eve (I hope he won't take it downΒ while trying to get it haha)

That's it! Our no-sew burlap Christmas stockings are ready to use. You can fill it up with candies, small presents, andΒ other goodies. Can't wait to open mine πŸ˜‰

Haha so here is a thing... I'm not sure how often Haha so here is a thing... I'm not sure how often you wash your hair, but I do it every 4-5 days. And my entire schedule depends on a "hair day"🀣

I'd never do a workout or a messy project if I just did my hair that morning😁 

Making videos every day with fresh hair is quite hard lol 

Now I'm trying out a new thing... I make "lifestyle", nice reels on my hair day and leave all messy projects for "not a hair day" πŸ™ˆπŸ˜

Can you relate? Or am I the only one?😁
