How to Make a Boho Style Christmas Stocking

Learn How to Make a Boho Style Christmas Stocking in a few easy steps. These stockings will be your new favorite Christmas decorating accessory.

Embellishments like poms, fringe, lace and a handmade tassel add so much personality. Not to forget make a great gift, too!

These are so fun and a great way to get your creative juices flowing.

What you will need:

1 yard drop cloth

1 yard felt-in your color choice

1/2 yard lace

1/2 yard pom-poms

1/2 yard fringe

3 yards non stretch cotton string

fabric glue

sewing machine

hand sewing needle

thread

scissors

measuring tape

4-8×10 sheets of paper

masking or packing tape

pins

clothes steamer or iron

**To start off with, I taped 4 pieces of computer paper together with masking tape. Hand drawing a pattern that I liked then cut the pattern out with scissors. As you will see below, my blogging friends have FREE stocking patterns for you to use or follow. Definitely give theirs a try if that is more comfortable than drawing your own.

When you have the pattern drawn and cut out, pin it to the drop cloth fabric. It doesn’t matter if the pattern is on the grain or against it. Either way will be just fine. It’s your preference.

The drop cloth piece has been cut out, lay it on top of the felt fabric. Cutout the felt stocking piece.

I like using felt for a back side, but you can easily use it as the front. Either way looks amazing.

With your sewing machine stitch 1/2 inch from the edge. DO NOT Sew the top closed. For a shabby Boho look, use your scissors or finger to pull threads from the fabric. It can be a few or all of it.

Now for the decorating! I love using chunky lace, fringe and pom poms like I did here and here.

With fabric glue-attach the lace all the way around the top/opening of the stocking.

The pom poms are “tucked” under the lace. And then the string of fringe under the poms.

Fabric glue is super easy and quick. Although, it can be very sticky and CAN get all over your fingers. Gloves for this part of the project would be a good suggestion.

Once all the embellishments are attached, pull the string to be able to spread the fringe. This way it is full and decorative.

Cut a 8 inch x 4 inch strip of drop cloth to create a loop to be able to hang your stocking. Attach it with your sewing machine, by hand or with the glue fabric. Any of these ways work.

Using cotton string create a handmade tassel like I did here. Take time to unravel most or all of the strings. This will add another layer texture.

Attach the tassel under your last layer of fringe with a needle and thread.

Before using your new Boho stocking for decorating, use a steamer or iron on both sides to smooth out all the wrinkles and creases. NOW it’s ready for hanging on your mantel, shelf or gift giving.

Fill your Boho stocking with greenery, ornaments, candy or whatever fits your seasonal decorating.
