Fancy designing your own Christmas stocking this year? Well it couldn't be easier with our blank stocking and just a little project pot of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! 

To start with you'll need:
  1. Blank Stocking
  2. Piece of cardbaord to go inside the stocking (we can give you this if you pop in the shop)
  3. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - A project pot is plenty for this!
  4. Annie Sloan Stencil - We used Tallulah
  5. Stencil Brush or Roller

Optional:
  1. Annie Sloan Mix Mat
  2. Masking Tape

Step 1 :

Cut a piece of cardboard to roughly fit inside the blank stocking, and pop it inside - this will stop paint bleeding through once you've started


Step 2 :

To apply the stencil design you can either use a stencil brush or foam roller - you might find it useful to use Annie Sloans Mixmat - this mat lets you pour Chalk Paint out without if spreading everywhere and is partilarly useful if you're using a foam roller.

Step 3 :

We used Annie Sloans Tallulah stencil, this design has always reminded us of welsh blanket designs and creates a lovely Christmas feel when using Emperors Silk Chalk Paint!
If using a stencil brush, then add some Chalk Paint to the brush, hold the stencil down firmly (or stick down with masking tape if you prefer), and do a downwards tapping motion over the stencil. Avoid using lots of paint as it might make the design bleed.

Step 4 :

Ideally let the Chalk Paint dry before lining the stencil up again and repeating the design (you could use a hairdrier to speed this up)

Step 5 :

Once you've done the design all over, let the stocking dry and repeat on the other side. Don't be too pedantic with it - the idea is for it to look handmade - enjoy it!

Thanks to the American magazine, Romatic Homes for the inspiration!
