Build something EXTRA MAGICAL this Christmas season with the help of Glued To My Crafts! We are so excited to present to you, our unique Paper and Felt Christmas Stocking House kid craft tutorial today!

It’s a first seen here idea and we hope it inspires you this holiday season!

I’m dreaming of a WHITE CHRISTMAS!

Well… it will probably never happen in our neck of the woods of Tampa, Florida but a girl can dream, right? At least I have my crafts to keep my winter dreams alive! Starting with today’s Christmas Stocking House tutorial!

It all started with a trip to Michaels {it ALWAYS does!} where I inspired to take a felt red stocking cutout from their Christmas kids craft aisle and turn it into a decorative house for Santa Claus.

All it took from there was some cardstock paper, small holiday stickers and school glue. That’s it. It’s rather easy and honestly, you don’t even need the same supplies I used for mine {although I do have to say ALL the stickers you see in my images were from Michaels, so it would be a one-stop-shop if you do go there!}

If you would like to recreate this Paper and Felt Christmas Stocking House art project with your child today, you can find some simple steps and tips listed below in my tutorial. Although I did go into “full detail” as I normally do with our tutorials on our site, I just want to say that I really hope that you and your child are encourage to think outside the box when it comes to building a Christmas house, that you both feel would be fit for your Christmas guests.

With today’s post, I just hope to inspire and get those wheels spinning within you today! After all – that’s the BEST part of crafting in the first place. You take my idea and expand on it & the creativity just grows from there!

So without further ado, I’ll let you get to “designing” your perfect stocking house today! I’ve linked to the Michaels’ website below, to get you started on the perfect building supplies!

Happy crafting, my dear friends and don’t forget to share pictures of your new mixed media Christmas houses with us on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see what you BUILD for Santa! #gluedtomycrafts

Christmas Stocking House Craft Supplies:

• Light Blue Colored Cardstock Paper
• White Colored Cardstock Paper
• Gray Colored Cardstock Paper
• Red Felt Stockings {on Michaels}
• Basic Craft Scissors
• Black Sharpie Marker
• School Glue
• Silver Glitter Glue {on Amazon}
• Gumdrop Holiday Stickers {on Michaels}
• Various Holiday Stickers {on Michaels}

Directions:

• Your canvas will be your single sheet of light blue cardstock. This piece will be left uncut and just serve as your sky background. Lay it on your table either portrait or horizontal.
• Now grab your white cardstock and tear {or cut} a section to be the “snow” of the craft. You don’t want it bigger than half of the light blue cardstock.
• Secure your white cardstock piece, in place on the bottom of your light blue cardstock.
• Now grab your red felt stocking piece.
• Cut off a sliver, from the bottom of the stocking, so it lays flatly like a house in the snow.
• Secure the stocking piece on top of the paper “snow” on the light blue cardstock.
• Now grab your gray cardstock, scissors and black marker.
• Cut out small circular windows, a rectangle chimney and a door for our stocking house.
• Using the marker, give each piece some dimension, by drawing on lines for the windows, bricks on the chimney and a knob for the door.
• Glue down all your newly made small paper pieces to the felt stocking, in their designated spots.
• Now grab your various gumdrop stickers.
• One by one, layer them on the top portion of the stocking, to create a roof.
• Finally, to finish off the Christmas Stocking House project, take the remaining holiday stickers and stick them in random places to set the scene.
• For added sparkle and a little snow, add some silver glitter glue dots in the empty light blue spaces.
• Then allow it to dry completely before you display it proudly!
