How to write names on fuzzy christmas stockings

Add stars, holly leaves, wreaths or Christmas tree designs to the body of the stocking using the same glue-and-glitter technique. Alternative methods for personalizing your stocking include glittery iron-on letters or writing glitter letters on a separate, non-fuzzy piece of fabric that can then be glued onto the stocking.

Write a name on the stocking with the white glue, taking care not to smear the glue as it leaves the bottle. Smaller kids who are just learning the alphabet can use block print; older kids and adults might prefer elegant cursive letters or calligraphy styles.

After applying the first color of glitter and letting it dry, trace the outlines of the name and add a second color of glitter to create a two-tone image. Add stars, holly leaves, wreaths or Christmas tree designs to the body of the stocking using the same glue-and-glitter technique.

Using the stencil you can fill in the letters with fabric paint. If you do this, take your time and let each letter dry before you move on. You can also use the stencil and a erasable fabric pen to trace the letters for appliqué. If you use felt or something that doesn’t fray for the appliqué it will be easier.
