I bought these white stockings last year at the Dollar Tree with great intentions of embellishing. Two years later, still boring…and I believe they still have these stockings to sell this year. So here we are celebrating our first Christmas stockingless…only left with these boring little things. I needed something quick…easy…something that did not require sewing. Because when you are sewing handmade Christmas gifts…sewing becomes sooooo overrated. And remember, I am not buying anything this year… Took my go-to adhesive…clothes pins. Shopped the tree and house for some ornaments and photos. Done. I have done my wife duties. My husband and I have stockings for Santa…I mean me…to fill. And I did more with my little “love nest” fence. It is amazing. I will show you this week. Do you make your own stocking or go store bought?
Great idea! I love the picture concept and I think I'm going to borrow it!! I hate putting names on stockings, but I get confused after I fill them as to whose are whose?! LOL!! Enjoy your week!!..
Cute! Great way to be resourceful. :) I still have my Santa stocking from when I was growing up (he's really a little Santa and the "tummy" opens to fill up with stuff) and T has his also. I bought the girls each one from PB with their names embroidered when they were on sale, different years. :)
What a fun and cute idea for your stockings! I had planned on finally making some stockings for us this year, but I think it will be another year gone by without them. We have some mismatched stockings that I bought for cheap because I thought it would only be 1 year with them, this is the 3rd year!
I like the pictures on the stocking. Very cute. My Nanny crocheted my and Christopher's stockings and then stiched our names on them with yarn. We love them.
Love how you used the photos with the clothes pins...they don't look like yhey came from the DOLLAR TREE! Thanks for coming by and come again...the door is always open!
Such a simple and beautiful idea! I went homemade one year with the stockings and quickly found that heat and bond does not hold up to the goodies left by Santa. Two of them ripped wide open on Christmas eve...
So now we have store bought. and I love them just as much for being durable :)
I love your photo stocking idea and how you hung them too! You are sooo creative!
I splurged and bought Pottery Barn Kids stockings one year, however, they were on sale and I bought them after Christmas. I love getting them out each and every year!
It warms my heart every time I see your fence and "love nest" I am so pleased it is such a focal point in your home. You do the cutest things and I am always inspired by your ideas. Keep enjoying the holiday season and have a Merry Christmas!~Jacque
You are so original! Love it. We dont have stockings (YIKES) but hubs said for next year he wants them. We are not getting anything this year, well...'cause we are homeless, but next year: WE ARE GAME!
