Hanging Christmas Stockings without a mantel
"And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care." Ever wonder what those of us who don't have chimneys do with our Christmas stockings? I never really wondered that because we didn't have a mantel growing up. Here's how we hang our stockings in our house.
Our first Christmas in our house 10 years ago, I tied our stockings to the banister in our living room that over looks our entrance way. A few years ago I decided to try something different and have been using it ever since.
You'll first want to find a wall to hang the stockings on. This wall is just the perfect size to hang stockings. Throughout the year I have this frame hanging up. So, during Christmas this frame is taken down.
Surprise! The frame was hiding some screws for hanging the stockings.
To hang this wall hook that I bought from Walmart, I unscrew the screws that are hidden by the frame and then use them to screw the hooks to the wall.
Then hang up your Christmas stockings on the hooks. When I first put this up, I had all intentions of making a sign to hang above the wall hooks to hide the nails. A year or so, my mother-in-law gave me a Christmas sign that no longer fit with her Christmas decor. It worked perfectly over our stockings!
Do you have a no mantel problem at your house? If so, how do you hang your stockings?
