Homemade Damask Stockings

I actually made these a few weeks ago and I wasn't ready to share them because I wanted to embroider their names...but the hustle and bustle of the holidays has prevented me from getting all of that done! Just use your imagination if you will! (Thanks)

I wanted some fabric that coordinated with not only my Christmas tree and other decor, but also with my home decor! My old stockings clashed big time with the colors of my home and it drove be NUTS!

Seriously...I can not figure out how to make these straight pictures. They are straight until I upload them on here and then they get all wonky? I will keep trying to figure it out, it must be some kind of glitch or something? (SORRY)

I didn't make one fore me and the Mister yet, I am still trying to decide on what fabric.

Should I use two of the existing fabrics (leaving one stocking by it's self) or should I add two more coordinating fabrics? HELP!

P.S. Thank you all for your help on deciding what table runner I should do for sure! I got a lot of comments and emails, and the sum of them was 19 for #3! It was the most liked by far, so that's what it is now!! Thanks!

Inexpensive Christmas Table Runner!

I found these felt trees at the Dollar Tree and just grabbed them because I thought that they would come in handy for something. On my drive home I racked my brain thinking of ways that I could incorporate them into something, but nothing came to me. Once I got home I threw them on the table and my 4 year old son started playing with them and laying them out in a line...so in all fairness this is HIS table runner idea!

These are the felt trees, they came in white, red, and green. Then I added some like a half yard of burlap and sewed the edges, then frayed them to the stitch line. I liked the burlap to not hang off the side because everyone complains about it when it does, so I just framed out the middle of my table with it!

Table #1. This is my favorite...I think.

Table #2.

Table #3. This is the Hub's favorite, and maybe my other fav.

Table #4. This is the one that my son did that gave me the inspiration to use them as a table runner.

So this is where I need YOUR help!

 What one should I do?

 I can't decide! I want to sew the one that I choose in place so that when I clean my table off it will just stick together and I won't have to center all the pieces again!

Thanks!

Have a great weekend!

P.S. I will be back on Sunday with this month's V.T./ neighbor gifts!
