So let’s get started on this sweet VW Bug Stocking. I am really excited about today’s project. I have been super excited about vinyl this season, so this project fits right in!

Today I am showing you this really fun stocking that you can use for so many things this season…like a card (just add some treats and a gift card), a gift bag (you could throw something cute in there, or without the lettering, it could be a really fun stocking to hang up.

To make this stocking you will need the following:

SUPPLIES

Vinyl- I used glitter HTV vinyl and Holographic HTV vinyl from Expressions Vinyl
Scissors
Cute design
Electronic cutting machine

DIRECTIONS

Using design, cut out design on machine.
Make little stockings (or you can buy these as well)
Using Holographic Vinyl, Cut a scalloped border.
Iron on designs
You are done!

Remember with HTV vinyl, you want to make the design a mirror image and place the shiny side down. (I might have found this out the hard way!) 😉

Here you can see how I layered this design. I actually cut the same design out in 3 colors, red, green and black and have mix and matched all of them to my liking. They really are all so cute!
