Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: one card

Supplies:

printed copy of provided pattern of Christmas stocking
8.2 x 5.4 in green cardstock
5.2 x 3.7 in piece cut from white printer paper
felt in the following three colors: black, white, and red
three red stars
red glitter
Pilot silver marker pen
sewing pins
pencil
ruler
scissors
clear-drying craft glue (such as Bostik Clear)

Steps:

Score the green cardstock in half to create a card sized 4.1" x 5.4".
Make the background for the card: Use the Pilot silver marker pen to draw small squiggles on the 5.2" x 3.7" piece cut from white printer paper. Use the same pen to draw a frame around this piece of paper.

With the fold at the left, centre and glue the background to the front of the card.
Cut out the pattern of the stocking.
Use the sewing pins to pin the bottom part of the stocking to the red felt and cut it out.
Do the same with the top part of the stocking and the white felt.

Glue the stocking to the front of the card.

Add the three stars to the top of the stocking.
Cut a thin strip from the black felt and use this to make a bow.
Glue the bow in place just below the top of the stocking.
Add a drop of glue to the bow's knot. While the glue is still wet, dust the glue with glitter and shake the excess glitter off.
