Make Your Own Dog Stocking
If you'd like to make your own stocking, here's a quick and easy way. You will need two matching pieces of fabric with a festive design. Lay the fabric sides together, ensuring that the right sides face inward. Next, cut a strip of cloth in the shape of a dog bone. This will be used as the hanging loop for the stocking. Sew the ribbon onto the top corner of the fabric pieces, leaving a small opening on one side for turning.
Once the strip is securely attached, sew around the edges of the fabric, leaving the top open. Turn the stocking right side out through the opening and press it flat.
Lastly, add any additional embellishments, such as sequins or buttons, to make your Dog Bone Stocking pattern unique. Hang it up and enjoy the festive spirit it brings to your holiday decorations.
