Epiphany stocking for dog in jute
Making a Christmas stocking for a dog with your own hands is easier than you might think!
Necessary
- Million;
- Colored tape (red, for example);
- Needle and red crochet thread;
- Scissors;
- Spillini;
- Fabric glue (hot glue);
- Felt tip pen;
- Shape bone, sock or other shape;
- White fabric.
But be careful with small objects: do not leave them within the reach of children or animals otherwise they could swallow them risking their lives with suffocation.
Procedure
- Get a piece of burlap, felt, or other fabric in the color of your choice, perhaps from a haberdashery or hobby store.
- Cut the pieces of fabric into a stocking (or other shape) and sew it all together – you can find many useful patterns online as a starting point if needed.
- If you’re not that skilled at sewing, you can take some old socks (make sure they’re long enough to hold a multitude of treats!) and decorate them with themed patches, such as bone, paw, or candy patches.

How to fill the Epiphany stocking for the dog?
Dogs love to receive treats, so you can easily imagine how much joy waking up could bring if they find a nice stocking hanging by the fireplace, filled with treats just for them!
You can fill the Epiphany stocking for your beloved four-legged friend with many goodies, but be careful do not put chocolates or other sweets as they are toxic to pets.
Instead, opt for tasty morsels, some croquettes, a colorful bowl, or even a rubber bone, chewable games, fun balls or other toys for dogs.
In short, there is no shortage of choices and you will be sure that your furbaby will appreciate it!
