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!

Oh, my gosh! I LOVE it! I am definitely making it for next year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat are the dimensions of the wood? Super cute! I am going to make this. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
DeleteWill the Velcro be strong enough to hold up the board once the stockings are filled?
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget! Yes, the 'Command hooks' velcro is not regular velcro. It is super duty! Ours held up just fine even with the full stockings. :)
DeleteWhat font did you use?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Have you been to my blog hop to share it yet? Please come over. Everyone will love this.

ReplyDeleteI love it too. What is the font size?
ReplyDeleteThere is no "All" in this line. It's a great idea and you created a beautiful stocking hanger but you added a word.
ReplyDeleteTHE 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?

ReplyDeleteAfter you placed the vinyl lettering did you put a top coat of something?
ReplyDeleteDid you use the cricut for the snowflakes? If so which cartridge is it?
