DIY Christmas Stockings from Vintage Wool Baby Socks
Being a grandmother for the first time this summer
gave me a new appreciation for baby clothes.
As the mother of four girls, I was especially excited about buying baby boy clothes for the first time.
In a bag of hand-me-down baby clothes I was surprised to find a few pairs of vintage baby socks.

The socks had such a beautiful vintage texture and color.
Who in the world would even think of putting these wool socks on the baby? They were headed for Grandma's craft room for sure! I decorated each sock with red ribbons of all kinds and vintage buttons and bows.
With just a simple glue gun I easily added buttons, pearls, and bows.
Creating beautiful little baby stockings for our Christmas tree was easy.
Baby stockings will be especially meaningful this year with
a new baby in the house for Christmas.
We will have to buy this baby something else
to keep his little toes warm.
How fun!

Very cute project!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you'll find something for those baby toes.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I was in Beaune France and wandered upon a flea market. At that market I bought a large box of what I would call "Lace bits". One of the bits in box was a babies sock, just one. I thought I had thrown it away, but while packing I found it. It is now labelled with a tag so that when I unpack boxes late next year I can do something like you have done to yours. When I do do it, I will make sure to blog about it and give you credit for the inspiration.
