How do you make your own personalized Christmas stockings?

Make your own Christmas stockings by knitting one yourself, sewing one out of fabric scraps from an old sweater or making one from felt. Another way to make a personalized stocking is to buy a plain stocking and personalize it with iron-on patches, bells, glitter glue and other embellishments.
