No Mantle Stocking Solution

We don't have a mantle, but of course still want to hang stockings.  So I got some wood, paint, and hooks and created this stocking hanger for our family of 6.
 I  added the fun quote with vinyl (my mom has a Cricut)  and some snowflakes.
 I just bought a pack of hooks at the hardware store and screwed them to the board.
It is attached to the wall with some Command velcro strips so there will not be permanent holes in the wall after the stockings come down.   There are currently no stockings hanging on it for good reason!  I've been wanting to make some new stockings for years, and this is finally the year!  Can't wait to finish them and show you!

      Hi Shawna! Sorry I took so long to get back to you-I just had to dig it out of my Christmas bin.:) My board is 3 feet by 7 1/2 inches. I hope that helps! I'm so happy you like it!

    Will the Velcro be strong enough to hold up the board once the stockings are filled?

      Hi Bridget! Yes, the 'Command hooks' velcro is not regular velcro. It is super duty! Ours held up just fine even with the full stockings. :)

    There is no "All" in this line. It's a great idea and you created a beautiful stocking hanger but you added a word.

    THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
    by Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston

    'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

    How far apart did you space your hooks? Was it enough room between stockings?

    After you placed the vinyl lettering did you put a top coat of something?

    Did you use the cricut for the snowflakes? If so which cartridge is it?

    For many years I have bought most of my stocking from http://www.00701.com. This is a mail order service that sends supplies on a regular basis.
