Christmas Wedding Favors: Mini Christmas Stockings

This mini Christmas stocking craft makes the perfect wedding favor for your Christmas wedding. You can use almost any vintage fabric or new fabric to create the custom look you want for your Christmas wedding favors.

If you do not like to sew, then buy pre made mini Christmas stockings and use some of these tips to customize your winter wedding favors.

To Make Mini Christmas stocking Wedding Favors You Will Need:

Fabric

Sewing machine

Ribbon

Paint pens or puff paint

Embroidery machine (optional)

Stocking stuffers (to be discussed)

The real trick to making these mini Christmas stockings a memorable Christmas wedding favor is two fold. First, you need to choose a cute fabric (or cute pre made mini stocking). Secondly, you need to fill the Christmas wedding favor with something good to eat or keep.

So, try using a vintage Christmas Feedsack fabric to make your own mini Christmas stockings. You could also use a Christmas fabric in a color that matches your winter wedding colors. Another idea is to make them out of vintage quilt fabric.

Once you have yoru fabric chosen you need to draw out yoru sticking shape on paper. We all know what a Christmas stocking looks like. If you are too scared to try, then take your Christmas stocking to Kinko's and have them photo copy it while they minimize it.

You want your mini Christmas stockings to be about 4 inches tall and 2 to three inches wide.

Now, use your pattern to trace out the stockings on your fabric. You will need two for each stocking. Fold the top edge down 1/8 inch on each piece and hem it down with your sewing machine or fabric glue.

Now, face the two right sides together and sew the sides. Turn your Christmas wedding favor inside out and you are ready to load it with goodies for yoru wedding guests.

Some great ideas for filling you're mini Christmas stockings are mini oranges, nuts in their shells, candy canes, soft candy mints in wrappers, and even chocolates in wrappers.

We all have our favorite Christmas candies, so put some of both the bride and the groom's favorite Christmas candy in the stocking.

Tip: If you want to customize your Christmas wedding favors with the date of your wedding you have a few options.

Before you sew the mini Christmas stockings together you can embroider the date of your winter wedding on one side of the stocking. If you do not embroider than you can use a sewing machine that does.

Another great option is to use a fabric paint pen. Once this dries you can sew your winter wedding favor together as before!
