Thank you to Personal Creations for gifting our family these stockings. Learn how to make a beautiful stocking holder for the holidays with just a few items you can pick up from any local home improvement store.
This year, my mother-in-law and her kitty cat moved in with us. My husband and I want to make this year super special for her. We haven't done stockings in a few years, so we decided that this year we would bring them back.
When I found out that Personal Creations wanted to send our family some personalized stockings, I knew that I was going to need something to hang them on. I don't have a mantle, but I found a cute design idea online, so I set my daughter up with the tools and materials she needed to make it come to life.
How to Make a Stocking Holder for the Holidays
While making your stocking, why not make a few fun Christmas treats to enjoy while you craft? Some of my favorites are Old Fashioned Christmas Butter Cookies or this fun Sourdough Chocolate Christmas Star Bread.
For starters, you need the following supplies:
- 1″ x 4′ piece of poplar wood (you can find it in the precut wood section — just ask)
- Coat Rack Hooks (choose the number of hooks per the number of stockings)
- Paint colors ( I did red and white with some glitter spray paint)
- Old English
Then, to make it even more vintage Christmas-looking, add a little Old English and wipe it off. It will deepen the red color and give it an old sheen.
Once the paint is dry, add the hooks. Space them out equally before installing them so that everything looks uniform.
This way, you do not have extra holes in your wood that you would later have to cover up. Trust me on this!
Then, on the back, add your hooks to hang it by. With this being a bigger piece, I would use the sturdier picture hanging hooks.
Once you are done with that, simply add your stockings to it, and it is complete!
I got my stockings from Personal Creations. I am simply IN LOVE with them. They have so many styles to choose from.
For the pets, we chose the Photo Perfect stockings that they offer, which you can personalize with pictures.
Then, for the adults, we chose these cute 3-D-type Winter Wonderland stockings. They have several styles to choose from, and they will personalize them for free.
