This is a Christmas stocking I am featuring on my blog.

I got it from Poundland. It had a horrid plastic pocket on the front ( for a letter to Santa, I think), but I was able to unpick it quite easily and you wouldn't know it had been there.

I've cut out some felt letters to personalise it, added some clear gems to add sparkle to his beard and covered up his printed eyes with shiny black buttons, oh, and added a new moustache using white felt.

I had to have a good sort through the stockings as some of the noses were a little off centre, but what a bargain!
