Christmas Stockings Tutorial

 Naptime Crafters and So Sew Easy have a great tutorial for making your own stockings. I purchased fabric last year to make some but never got around to it. I suppose I should, since there's only a month until Christmas!

2x4 Stocking Hangers

My stockings are hung from my mantle with a push pin in the wood! (NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!) I love this simple idea for stocking hangers made from 2x4's. They are cute and easy! These ones that look like presents are from Sugar Bee.

The original 2x4 stocking holders came from Crap I've Made. They have a monogrammed letter! I love both ideas!

I would recommend using these only when the stockings are empty! I doubt they are heavy enough to hold filled stockings.

Highlights!

Here are some highlights from today's Whatever Goes Wednesday.

Make your own craft stars from an inexpensive cake pan. See this awesome tutorial at Choose To Thrive.

These fabric tree pillows are adorable and easy to make! See it at Inspired Honey Bee.

I'm loving the fringe on this stocking. One of the cutest stockings I have seen. See it at Homework.

My Crazy and So Wonderful Life has made a gigantic snowman out of 2x4's. So cute!

Make gift bags out of music sheet with Country Chic Cottage! What a fun idea!!!!

Do you have some place you want to hang a stocking, but don't want to put a nail or other object that may leave a mark? HERE is the perfect solution for that. These stocking holders are created by The Many Faces of Mom. What a great idea!

Drop Cloth Christmas

I've seen all sorts of things made from drop cloths. Window treatments, chair covers, skirts! What about having a drop cloth Christmas? What can you make? Here's two ideas!!!

A tree skirt with ruffles would be a great choice to make from a drop cloth. Shanty2Chic made this one HERE.

With the left over drop cloth, you could make a stocking or two! This one is from Shanty2Chic again. Make it by following the tutorial found HERE.
