Cricut Tutorial: Personalized Christmas stocking teacher gift

Teacher gifts can be difficult. You want them to be unique and meaningful, but you also don’t want to spend a lot of money on them – especially if you’ve got more than one teacher to buy for. Melissa from Made By Melli has an awesome idea. She created personalized stockings for her kids’ teachers and filled them with treats. Heat transfer vinyl makes it quick to personalize, and stockings are actually quite easy to sew. She’s got a tutorial on her blog showing how to do it!
