Stockings & Tree Skirt

I caught the holiday crafting bug this week. It was a good thing, because we'll actually have stockings to stuff at Christmas and a tree with a real skirt (instead of a blanket wrapped around the bottom). The best thing about it all was that I only spent $3!! Everything else I had in my chaotic stash.

I made these stockings using this template and piecing together a squares from a charm pack. The fabric is Crazy Eight by Moda. 

I also made this ruffle-icious tree skirt. It was all over Pinterest a few weeks ago. It was super easy and actually took less time than I anticipated. I bought an ugly tree skirt at the store for $3 and glued these ruffles to it as indicated in this tutorial. I can't wait to put up my tree!
