Ho ho ho, the time is nearly here! We love Christmas and we especially love Christmas crafting. Whether we're making our own air dry clay Christmas decorations or hooking up crochet Christmas decorations, there's nothing better than sitting down in front of an open fire and getting festive through craft. Christmas stockings are an integral part of Christmas and they can be passed down from generation to generation, getting more special with age.
Although it's easy to make your own Christmas stocking, sometimes it's nice to buy a Christmas stocking kit and rest easy knowing everything you need is included. Christmas stocking kits also make a great festive project for crafting circles or even as school holiday entertainment for kids.
There's a huge range of Christmas stocking kits on the market, from kits suitable for complete beginners to more complex ones. Below, we've gathered some of our favourite Christmas stocking kits for you to browse and pick the perfect one for you!
There's everything from mini crochet Christmas stocking kits to elaborate beaded embroidery kits so no matter your craft, there's a stocking kit for you. But remember these Christmas stocking kits sell out fast and there's normally only a limited number available so we'd recommend buying yours in advance so it has time to arrive!
