To put names on Christmas stockings, you can use a variety of methods depending on the material of the stockings and the intended look. For fabric stockings, you can use fabric paint or embroidery to write the names in a decorative script or font. For knit or crocheted stockings, you can sew on small name tags made of felt or other soft materials. For paper or cardboard stockings, you can use stickers, labels, or cut-out letters to spell out the names. No matter which method you choose, the most important thing is to make sure the names are easily visible and clearly legible.
