7. Gingerbread Man Stocking with Icing Details

Sweet and festive, this gingerbread man stocking is a delightful project for kids who love baking (or eating) holiday treats. The icing details are made from felt, so there’s no mess!
Materials: Brown, white, red, and green felt, fabric glue, scissors.
Instructions: Cut a stocking shape from brown felt. Cut small strips of white felt to create icing details—zigzags, dots, and lines work well. Add tiny red and green felt circles for buttons or candy decorations. Glue everything in place, then attach the front and back pieces.
Time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Beginner
Customization: Use different colors for the icing or add a felt bow tie for a gingerbread boy or girl.
💡 Pro Tip: For a more textured look, use puffy fabric paint for the icing details instead of felt.
