I challenged myself to stock my very small 8 x 5 booth with Daily and holiday decor that is more than 50% recycled. In other words no money to little money will go in to materials.
This is Idea 8:
COST zero dollars..nothing had to be purchased to finish this project..
I had a beautiful quilted coverlet that a rogue sock and weary laundry day destroyed. Destroyed to the point that a strategically placed pillow would not hide the stains.
As well as a stained bed spread..I have plenty of lace...
And a sewing machine and plenty of thread...
The most difficult part of this project was deciding what shape and size I wanted the stockings to be. I made a pattern from brown paper and got started looking for the non stained areas on the coverlet to cut.
While I was digging around in my craft room I found an old fertilizer cotton bag...and some really cool prim stockings were born...
Happy DECOR!

Since I was going for a shabby vintage look I left the top edges raw and used the hem from the coverelet to make hanger loops with. Super simple PROJECT!

These had an extra step..I lined them with muslin to make sure they do not unravel. I made rough primitive hangers out of left over scraps.
These, and a few more, will be available at Vintage Collections in Camden!Happy DECOR!

I love these! I have made stockings out of old mattress pads and they are equally homespun and cozy looking.
