Remember the days when Christmas stocking kits did not exist and everyone did all of it by hand? Me neither! I cannot image starting from scratch and trying to develop a pattern and design as I went along. I think those talents perhaps never made it to me or to most of my friends!

But making a Christmas stocking is creating a keepsake and something that will be treasured and hopefully handed down through the years. There is incredible joy in having something that has seen lots of holidays with a cherished family member before you. To be able to make one for yourself, or better yet to give as a gift is priceless.

The really great thing is that if you are looking for a Christmas stocking kit the options are endless. First of all you need to decide what will be the way you make your stocking? Are you great at knitting? How about needlepoint? What about crocheting?  Stockings that are stitched do require you have some skill already, but there are many options that you will not need it for.

The other category of stockings includes those made of felt.  Most of these come with a pattern that you can use to cut out the various pieces. But that is just the beginning of these stockings….try adding sequins, buttons, and anything else you can think of that will truly make the stocking personalized. There are endless ways of decorating a basic felt stocking that makes it one of a kind.

Whether you decide to use your talents and stitch a stocking or go the felt route , Christmas stocking kits come in so many designs you should be able to find something that perfectly reflects the person the stocking is for. This is your chance to think outside the box a little. What are this person’s hobbies? If they love to ski, how about a stocking with a skier on the front? What if they love to cook? What if they love to travel?

The business of creating Christmas stocking kits has gotten so big that almost anything you can think of is out there somewhere. The idea is to remember that what you are creating will hopefully be around for years to come. Adding that special touch that reflects the person you are giving it to and a little touch that reflects you also will insure that the stocking becomes a keepsake that is treasured long after you are around.
