$Slide your cards inside the stocking legs, making sure you match the sides and tip of the legs. Not to have them one on the front and the other on the back \ud83d\ude1d$

Slide your cards inside the stocking legs, making sure you match the sides and tip of the legs. Not to have them one on the front and the other on the back 😝

Choose your tattoo and go wild 😜 I chose a simple line with a bow at the end 🎀 all the following steps are for that 🐮

Make sure you follow the instructions on your fabric paint or marker ☝️ if you want you can add multiple layers to the paint, making sure you wait for it to dry in between 👌

With the ruler, measure the middle of your stoking leg. You want the line to be on the middle of your leg.

Using your ruler, make a line as long as you want it to go up your leg. I wanted mine to be only on the calf, so I made it aprox 19cm (7.5in)

Making the line is a bit hard, so don't just trace it, because your stocking might get holes or the line won't be even. Dot the line on them to make sure it's straight.

This is how they look after I draw them in. The stockings have different colour because I used different colour card stocks 👻

This is the final result 👏 My bows are a bit too stretched, but I like them 😜

How to make fake tattoo stockings 🐾

Fake tattoo stockings are pretty expensive and usually the ones I like are sold out or not in my size. I decided to make my own, because I think handmade is always better 🙊
