Last year was my daughter, Ellie's, first Christmas. We bought her a stocking and hung it with the others. I had bought some embroidery thread, intending to sew her name on it, but it just never happened. I set it aside in a drawer after Christmas so that I would get it done. I tried once to start it, but was such a perfectionist about it that I took it all out because it didn't look right.
So, this year when we hung all the stockings, I was embarrassed to realize that it was still not done! (That's a casualty of being the fourth child, I suppose) So, I had an idea. I decided to try using a freezer paper stencil.
Freezer paper stencils are really easy to use. I first used it on THIS project a little while back. For a good tutorial click HERE.
I always get a little nervous on a project like this, though, because you only get one shot to get it right but it worked perfectly!
