UPDATE:<\/strong>\u00a0I created a new no-sew DIY version of this Christmas stocking for dogs!<\/a><\/p>\n Decorating for Christmas with dogs in the house can be a challenge. I’m always careful what ornaments I place on the tree at “tail height”, and I don’t usually put out presents until Christmas day unless I want them unwrapped early!<\/p>\n With so many tempting but off-limits things around the house, it’s nice to make the dogs their own decorations like a personalized Christmas stocking.<\/p>\n I love to share this free DIY dog bone Christmas tutorial! This easy sewing project can be customized to match your own holiday decor and your dog’s personality. In this post, I show you how you make your very own pattern, sew the stocking and add personalized finishing touches.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I love how these dog bone stockings look hanging on my mantle because they give an extra dog-obsessed touch to the rest of the decorations in my dog-friendly home!<\/p>\n Making this bone-shaped pet Christmas stocking is a pretty easy sewing DIY. I encourage you to try out this free pattern and sewing tutorial! Photos, step-by-step instructions and a video can all be found below. If you want a no-sew version, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the reasons I love to DIY is because I can make things exactly how I want them. My holiday style is a little whimsical and vintage-inspired.<\/p>\n For this DIY dog bone-shaped Christmas stocking,<\/strong> I picked out fabrics that perfectly coordinate with the rest of my holiday decor style.<\/p>\n Living in a cold climate, I always enjoy the lights, decorations, and joy that the holidays bring. The dogs and I spend many nights cuddled up on the couch with the Christmas tree lit and a few candles on the mantle.<\/p>\n One of my favorite nights of the year is when we get the first big snow<\/a>. I love to walk the dogs around my neighborhood when it’s peaceful and covered in a fresh layer of snowy shimmer.<\/p>\n Walking in the snow and admiring my neighbors’ holiday decorations one of my favorite memories with my dogs every winter!<\/strong><\/p>\n That memory is the inspiration for the fabric I chose to use for this DIY stocking tutorial.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m going to show you exactly how easy it is to make this bone-shaped dog stocking from scratch. I made my own sewing pattern and will show you how you can do it, too!<\/p>\n Here’s the supplies I used to make 1 dog bone stocking:<\/strong><\/p>\n First, find great fabric!<\/strong> Making your own Christmas stockings for you and your dogs is so great because you can use fabric that coordinates with your other decorations.<\/p>\n At Joann, I found a snow-covered tree print for the outside of my stocking and red and black buffalo plaid for the inside. (BONUS: I sewed this so it’s reversible<\/strong>! It’s a fun way to just sew once and get 2 Christmas stocking looks!)<\/p>\n Next, pick up ribbon and notions<\/strong> I also found a fabulous ribbon at Joann! Skip the regular ribbon aisle, and look for the special Christmas ribbon aisle.<\/p>\n I found this extra-wide burlap ribbon with red whipstitching. I like how it looks wrapped around the bone it’s a great place to customize the finished stockings with my dogs’ names.<\/p>\n You can order fun supplies online from Joann<\/a>, Michaels<\/a> (I love this snowflake ribbon!<\/a>) or get really cool fabrics from Spoonflower<\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nHow to Make a Dog Bone Christmas Stocking<\/h2>\n
