Finding a set of Christmas stockings that matches your holiday décor isn't easy. You want stockings that are warm and cozy with that homespun look! So, if you want that personal touch and an item that can be passed down, try making your very own DIY Christmas stockings.

It turns out that crafting a stocking at home is almost easier than picking out stocking stuffers! Plus, there are so many more options when you do it yourself—floral details, metallic accents, mistletoe, shimmering stars, pom-poms, and sequins galore. Some of them do call for basic sewing skills, but many of them can be made without a sewing machine, or even a needle. Here, you'll find fantastic ideas for crafting oh-so special DIY Christmas decorations that you can hang over the fireplace year after year. You can actually add stocking-making to your growing list of Christmas traditions—and it doesn't hurt that it's the easiest possible way dress up your Christmas mantel, too. We've even got dog Christmas stockings so you can include your four-legged friends. (The Drummond family might have to invest in a second mantel if they decide to go that route! 😅)

No matter which of these DIY Christmas stocking ideas you make, one thing is certain: Santa will be wowed when he stops by on December 25!
