Decorating mini stockings is a great craft this time of year. You can’t go wrong with a plain stocking and a few embellishments! It will be transformed into something fun and fabulous!
Today I’m dressing up plain stockings with colorful buttons. It’s so simple and I’m loving the bold beautiful color when you bring buttons together!
I’m using Laura Kelly buttons from Buttons Galore & More. The mix has a fun variety of colors, sizes and shapes.
I picked up my mini stockings at Walmart this year for $1 each.
I like to start with a few of the large buttons and space them out. Stitch or glue the buttons in place.
Then I fill in the rest of the stocking band with smaller buttons.
I kept to one color for each stocking, but using a color combo would be fun too! Maybe you’ll choose holiday colors or add a splash of color with your favorite colors!
Now you have created your own one-of-a-kind stockings for your dolls!
It’s all ready to hold a few doll sized goodies and gifts!
If you want a few more ideas for stocking decorations visit my Doll Diaries post here from last year and a this one on my own blog in a different color scheme!

CUTE! I love Saige’s dress!
Claire, Thanks! 🙂 I just sewed Saige’s dress this week and I’m super duper excited about it. I think the color is so lovely on her!
this is soo cute! I loved the ones last year!
Thanks Sierra! Stockings are surprisingly fun to decorate…each one is so different and fun!
all of your Christmas posts are so cute! (last year’s too!)
I have a question about your fireplace: did you make it?
It is really nice and my daughter is very interested in having one, by that she means me making one!
thanks for all the inspiration
Thanks Morgane! I made the fireplace a couple of years ago and added the rock face last year. I took some pics when I was adding the rock face that shows the basics of the fireplace (how it was constructed). I was just looking at the pics this morning and thinking I should put a post together to show how it was made. So it’s funny that it was on my mind too! If you are wanting to start soon or have specific questions before I write up the post email me at anna@doll-it-up.com and I’d be happy to help!
i want to make a fire place for my dolls too!
