" These felt stockings were hung and crafted with care, using snowy white felt and bright colors for flair. Trace our stocking template onto three pieces of felt, then cut them out, using pinking shears for a decorative edge on the front. Sew the pieces together, and embellish with felt poinsettias, trees and ribbon-trimmed packages.   Skill Level: Beginner   Materials (enough for all three stockings): Tracing paper; pencil; pins; Magic Cabin felt: 1/2 yard each of white, red, gold and various shades of green; scissors; pinking shears; matching threads; sewing machine; craft glue; ribbon.   Pattern:  Stocking Template   Directions: 1. Enlarge stocking, tree and poinsettia patterns.   2. From white felt, cut one stocking piece for front. From contrasting felt, cut one stocking piece for back. For gift stocking, cut several 3x4 1/2-inch rectangles for gifts and 1/2-inch-wide strips of gold and red felt for ribbons. For tree stocking, cut 3 trees in green and gold shades. For poinsettia stocking, cut 3 red poinsettias and nine 1/4-inch gold circles for centers. For each stocking, cut a 1x8-inch strip for hanging loop.   3. Trim edges of stocking front with pinking shears.   4. Place a stocking front on a stocking back; stitch close to side and lower edges, leaving upper edge open. 5. Glue or sew gifts, trees and poinsettias on stockings.   6.
