Christmas Stocking House Craft
Not only is it a great activity to keep little hands busy, but it also turns out looking pretty magical too. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
Craft Supplies:
- Cardstock Paper
- STOCKING Printable – on box.com
- Color Printer
- Craft Scissors
- Sharpie Markers
- School Glue
- Cotton Balls
- Various Holiday Stickers
Directions:
- Your canvas will be your single sheet of GRAY cardstock paper. This piece will be left uncut and just serve as your 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 gray paper.
- Secure your white cardstock piece, in place on the bottom of your gray cardstock.
- Now grab your printed printable.
- Trim out the stocking shape.
- 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.”
- Now grab your pieces of cardstock paper, 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 stocking shape, in their designated spots.
- Now grab your cotton balls.
- 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 spaces.
- Then allow it to dry completely before you display it proudly!
