1. Jute stocking
Jute is a raw material which lends itself particularly well to the creation of Epiphany stockings. Besides being easily available, it is also a very material economical and resistant.
Anyone can make a jute sock, because its particular canvas texture does not require great manual skills in terms of sewing. Here’s how to do it:
- track the side dish of the stocking with pen, directly on the dubbed canvas: in this way you will obtain the profile of two identical shapes;
- cut out the fabric, leaving approx an inch of edge, which will serve as a reinforcement for the seam. can sew it either by machine or by hand. In the second case it uses 4 embroidery threads, to make the seams more resistant.
- Customize your sock as you like best, applying with fabric glue from decorations in felt, or ribbons in a contrasting color.
- Finish the sock by inserting inside of gods fabric scraps, which will go turned outwards. If you are not familiar with the sewing machine you can also leave them without a hem: you will enhance the beauty of your jute sock even more.

2. Sweater sleeve
Do you have an old wool sweater you’ve been wanting to get rid of for a long time? Recycle the sleeves to create your new Befana socks. This will make your job a lot easier, because you won’t have to to sew other than the bottom sock (which corresponds to the armholes of your sweater).
Don’t forget to sew the loop on the back, which you will need to hang your sock by the fireplace. Finally, let off your creativity with decorations: buttons, satin ribbons, pom poms or a beautiful colored brooch will give an even more glamorous touch to your Epiphany socks.
3. Tartan scarf
What if, instead, you recycled those old worsted wool scarves in a Scottish pattern, using them to create very fashionable Befana socks? Tartan is a fabric much loved by designers, and every year it is revived on the catwalks with new color combinations.
If you have the tartan scarves now ruined, do not throw them away, because you can recycle them to make some fantastic festive stockings to hang on the fireplace. No decorations will be needed – it will be enough turn the bangs outwards and sew a little loop on the back to hang it on the hook.
4. An old blanket
What to do with one blanket now unusable, but which are you struggling to get rid of? Throwing it away is certainly not a good solution, also because giving abandoned objects a second chance is always the best alternative. And in this case you can recycle it even to create of the originals Befana socks.
Those with a patchwork effect are really cute and don’t need big decorations, because it’s impossible not to notice them hanging on the fireplace! You may think of decorate them by sewing a flap in the upper part of the sock, which you can customize with the name of the various members of your family. To each his own!
5. Christmas terry socks
Let’s finish with a perfect idea for who does not love particularly tinkering with needle and thread. There is probably no better way than to recycle an “uncomfortable” gift like this, which we are about to offer you: in the past you have received a couple of Christmas terry socks, very embarrassing?
If the answer is yes, you just have to dig them out of the bottom of the drawer and give them a second chance. Reuse them as Epiphany socks and, this time, show off your wonderful socks… by hanging them on the fireplace!
