Christmas stockings

I've started making my christmas stockings. I bought fabric for $4.00 for 1 yard, this made 8 stockings, I topped the stocking with some fluffy fur.

I love primitives so i made these stockings extra grubby looking. To make any fabric look old and dingey make a mixture of coffee, ground cinnamon and a little vanilla extract, brush on your fabric liberally and bake in the oven at 325, but watch it closely so it dosn't catch fire!!

I topped off the stockings with sprigs of greens off of an old wreath ( i sprayed them with adhesive and sprinkled on some micah flakes), some pipe cleaner candy canes, a lollypop made from fabric and a coffe stained american flag.
