We keep our stockings hung on the bedroom doors with wreath hangers for a first glimpse of morning surprise on Christmas morning. Stockings can get heavy and I don't trust stocking hanger hooks to hold them up once they've been filled.
So the ones I've created are purely for the look of stockings hung on a fireplace. But with a few adjustments- swapping hot glue for needle and thread and skipping the polyfill- they're perfect to stuff with gifts, too!

I like using a material like mud cloth as an unexpected alternative to what we traditionally see during holidays because I find it more interesting.


Did you make your stockings? Do you think you'll be making some? Share your stockings bought and handmade with #showmeyourboho on Instagram to share with the community.
These are exactly what I wanted to jazz up the fireplace mantel for the holidays. To see more of my holiday mantel, check out my Colorfully Eclectic Holiday Mantel.
these are so good, corinna! i had grand plans to make something similar, but never got to it, so my mudcloth is around my tree instead. ;)
ReplyDeletethey look so good!! Love the trim at the top too!
ReplyDeleteI love them. They fit perfectly with your too good to be true styled mantle. I'm obsessed with the mirror. I'm about to try making those fringe ornaments . :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a nice comment! The mirror is an investment but it's timelessly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessica! The trim is probably the best part!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to try to make REAL functioning stockings, it would never happen. But I can hot glue some stuff together and fake it!
