I know it's a lil' early for Christmas, but I couldn't resist. This stocking advent calendar was just too fun not to share. The best part is I've got a giveaway for you too! You can win a Cricut Explore, the craft machine I used to create these perfectly shaped stockings!

Next, upload the Cricut numbers template into a new file in Cricut Design Space. Delete the white space around the numbers. Adhere the black felt onto the cutting mat (make sure it is super sticky still) and upload into the machine. Cut out the template onto the black felt using the machine. Sew two white stockings together. Glue the loops to the back of the stockings and the numbers onto the front of the stockings. Finally, fill with your goodies!
