I have the cutest little white feather Christmas tree that I display on my table at holiday craft shows. I've been using it just to decorate my space, but it draws so much attention I wanted to figure out a way to use it for product display.
So I made a few little felt stockings to hang on the tree that are the perfect size for the chubby crayons. They were really fun and super quick to make!
I found a this template for a mini stocking on Martha Stewart's website, printed it, cut it out, pinned it to some felt, and cut around it. Then I pinned some ribbons on, pinned two pieces of the felt together, straight stitched around it in a contrasting color and waalaa! I think they would be really cute if you used pinking shears to cut the "seam allowance" after you stitched them 
together, but I can't find my pinking shears anywhere...
Now my only concern is that I'm going to have to keep saying "the stockings aren't for sale, just the crayons" :)

these are cute...you would sell them with the stocking and make it easier...or just put a not on the stockings for display purposes only.
CUTE! How many times did you have to say "The Stockings arent for sale?" Or did you go ahead and sell them? I vote for selling them alongside the crayons! :)
