Needed: Black Paint



I have been busy putting the trick or treaters stocking from Squigee together. The photos show my progress, and also why I need black paint! I have some black spray paint that I'll use on the little support later on today. Hopefully it'll be dry enough for a final photo tomorrow.

The back side is darker than in the photo but I adjusted the color so you could easily see the purple satin through the net overlay with all the orange fuzzy shapes and words.

The front is angled because I discovered that setting the stocking on the peg at a 90 degree angle overbalanced it and it toppled over. Can't have the kids lying on their sides! Now that I'm used to it, I think it's the perfect angle for viewing this piece. Most stockings are designed to be seen hung from a top corner like traditional Christmas socks, after all.

The next step is to add the fuzzy trim all around the perimeter while the black paint dries on the support.
