I know, I know. I'm changing up the stockings again. Turns out I have a have a restless spirit when it comes to stockings - which you've probably noticed if you've followed me for more than one Christmas (you can read all about it and see my long stocking history here, if you're curious). But I would like to say, for the record, that this year I only added tags to the new stockings I made last year. So. That's something.
I'd also like to say that I only spent about $5 for this whole project and it was a really affordable and fun way to dress up and personalize our stockings! And you can make your own wooden stocking tags in time for Christmas with just a few simple supplies and a crazy simple technique (no fancy equipment required!)To make a set you'll need:
- 2" wooden circles (I paid $2 for a set of four at Hobby Lobby)
- string
- black acrylic paint
- a fine tip paintbrush (or you could try a sharpie?)
- this letter template
- a pencil and pen
Cut the template out an center it on one of the wooden circles:
You can see the pencil marks transferred to the wood from this "J":
Use a very fine tip paintbrush (seriously. you'll have a terrible time if your brush isn't super fine) to paint the pencil outlines:
That's it! Now tell me you don't want make new stocking tags, too? And, I mean, why not make some cute new stockings while you're at it? I can tell you from experience: stockings and tags can turn "Give a Moose a Muffin" really quickly.
