diy holiday stocking board

Christmas· Holiday· Stencil· Vinyl Lettering

11 Dec

We are in high gear for the quickly-approaching “Big Day” (Christmas!) and was thrilled to receive my personalized Christmas stockings last week. Of course my boys tore open the package to find their own but then turned to ask where they could hang it. Umm… our current home doesn’t have a fireplace mantel so I quickly recreated our old stocking holder board and hung it on the wall next to the tree. They were happy with the easy solutions and since I can’t stop ogling at these gorgeous stockings hanging in my house, I was happy as well!

Easy DIY Christmas Stocking Holder Board, perfect for fireplace mantle-less spaces!

Since I was thrilled with my 2014 family Christmas cards, I hopped over Tiny Prints to search for the perfect stocking. I scrolled through their eye candy, also known as the home decor section, and scrolled until I saw these beauties, Christmas stockings:

I was drawn to the Fancy Forrest immediately because I have 3 boys in our family and that particular stocking offers 2 shades of pretty turquoise blues but still has an option in the red family. Plus, the little modern trees are to die for cute! I was sold. (Okay I have to admit something funny… I typed in “Kristi” at first because seeing “Mom” as my title still throws me off sometimes. Oops! lol!)

Love these gorgeous Christmas stockings from TinyPrints.com

I personalized the stockings in my current font crush, Thirsty Script, and it looks so good! The fabric is so soft yet strong, a perfect combination for 2 little boys that will be handling it. 🙂 I was also personally crushin’ on the glass, zinc and metal ornaments. We collect ornaments whenever we travel and are always up for a new one… especially when it has our family picture on it!

    Where do you find the “And the Stockings were Hung” stencil? I love this! Do you make them to sell?
