The first Pink Christmas Craft, woot woot. It has to do with that pink rick rack I've shown you....
It's my stocking for the year! At first, everyone thought it would not be Christmasy in the least. But now that it is finished, it is the perfect mix of pink and Christmas.
First, lay out your rick rack on the stocking. I mixed a few different shades of pink to make it a little more fun, but it can be done with any color. (You could also sew the rick rack on with clear thread, but I was feeling kind of lazy so I went with a hot glue gun.)
Press it down.
Then, trim the end at the bottom of the stocking and put a tiny bit of hot glue on the end of the rick rack to keep it from fraying.
Then add the other 2 (or as many as you want!)
I added some rick rack flowers to the top with the leftover rick rack. I would love to show you how to make these, but I can't really even get them right.
This project was really fun and added a little pizzazz to a regular stocking. Rick rack is $1.00 a yard. I used 4 yards for this (You do the math), and it turns out to be pretty inexpensive.
If you make this a launching pad for another project or try this out, let me know! I would love to see what you create.
That's so cool! I might do that next year but a diffrent color...maybe green. :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of doing sort of a sea foam green for myself...i love that color!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Me too! But my favorite color is blue.
ReplyDeleteI figured! I love Navy blue clothes! I dont know why, but I always go for that color.
ReplyDeleteHow are you making your Pink Christmas picture? The name, I mean, and background.
ReplyDeleteI found the background online and then used fonts from a website thing (like blogger, but different) and then used the snipping tool to capture it. It is a really lame way of doing it, I'm trying to find another way
ReplyDeleteI knew you must be using the snipping tool.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't see any other way of doing it, maybe using Photoshop.
