This spooky stocking idea came to me as I thought of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas.
My husband, son & I love this movie and enjoy watching Jack Skellington, The Pumpkin King, discover Christmas for the first time.
This stocking is a Big Shot Bigz L Die. The stocking measures 5-1/2" x 4-3/4". The die measures 6" x 8-3/4". Use it with paper, fabric, felt & more! I have SO many ideas for this die - it makes the purchase very worthwhile to me.
Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die, Item #124098, $32.95
The accessories inside the stocking are also a Die. Candy cane piece measures 3" x 1-3/8". Entire die measures 4-3/4" x 5-1/2".
I thought it would be fun to add some Christmas goodies to the spider-web embossed stocking. Fun! Don't you think?
