Tunisian Tinsel Stocking

"Inspiration behind the Tunisian Tinsel Stocking: As soon as I saw this beautiful Teal color, I knew I had to design something Christmasy with it and knew it would pair so well with the gold thread! I don’t celebrate Christmas but I love seeing all the decor and getting inspired to create during the holiday season! Here, I introduce you to the Tunisian Tinsel Stocking, the perfect addition to your holiday decor and it would make for the perfect gift as baby’s first stocking. If you have any new additions in your family, you could even add a felt monogram on it and it would look so cute and make for such a meaningful gift!
