Do you live in a home without a fireplace mantel, and want to place your Christmas stocking in the perfect spot? This Stocking Holder craft is the solution for you! These are not just your average stocking holders for Christmas! Each one is personalized in a way that reflects the personality and interests of the stocking owner.
Using a wooden picture frame, a personalized Christmas ornament and a hook, these adorable stocking holders will be the talk of your holiday party! It’s easy and you can use a variety of picture frames in different shapes, sizes and textures for every member of the family. Just paint them in festive holiday colors or hues that match your décor.
All you need are a few supplies and some basic painting skills to make these adorable stocking holders that your family will love. Christmas morning has never been so fun!
Step 1: Purchase a personalized Christmas ornament with a flat back. OrnamentShop.com has over 5,000 for you to choose from!
Step 2: Paint the wood on the picture frame whatever color you decide works best. You can either coordinate the colors on the ornament, holiday colors, match the stocking or your home décor colors. We used red paint and then added red glitter paint on top for a little sparkle. Let dry.
Step 3: Cut a piece of scrapbook paper the size of the frame and then insert as if it was a picture.
Step 4: Carefully glue the personalized Christmas ornament to the glass of the picture frame, making sure that glue doesn’t leak out the sides. Press firmly and hold until the glue has adhered and is secure. Let it dry.
Step 5: Use the scissors to cut a piece of ribbon and tie it to the top for hanging on the wall. Make sure knots are secure.
Step 6: Then cut a piece of ribbon and tie it to the bottom of frame and include the loop of the stocking. It is important to make sure knots are secure.
That’s all there is to it to make the most adorable Stocking Holders for everyone in the family. It’s as easy as hanging up a picture on the wall!
