I made this stocking for Katie last night.
It's a stocking from the Dollar Tree, and I made the Matroyshka doll from a very easy pattern and template I found here. I admit I cheated a bit - the flowers are pre-made pins/hair clips I found at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each. I don't really plan on this being Katie's stocking forever, so I can take the flowers off and put them in her hair or on a sweater or shirt. The doll was SUPER easy to make, and this is a very inexpensive way to make a cute stocking. If I had made the flowers instead of purchasing pre-made versions I think the whole stocking would have cost about $3 or $4. Some come on Santa! Katie's stocking is ready.
I'm also going to use the pattern to make something similar to this for her room.
I can't decide if I'm going to make this using scrapbook papers or fabric. . . I like this version from Etsy, but it's about $70. I don't like it that much!
I would use paper, and silk flowers will be so cute instead of cut outs, like the buttons...I am sure you could make this for $10-$15...So cute, cant wait for the final project.
