Stocking Hanger Board

Whilst you’re waiting for me to get today’s giveaways up (that’s right…more than one!), I’m going to give you a hint about next week’s giveaway and show you a quick and easy project. I don’t claim to have invented this, I’m just going to show you my take on it.

Don’t have a mantel? No problem!

I started with a cabinet door from the as-is section at IKEA.

As you can see, I spent A LOT of money on it.

I gave it a coat of off white spray paint that I found in the garage and then glazed it using Ralph Lauren glaze in Tobacco.

I applied some vinyl lettering I cut with my Silhouette (using painters tape for transferring small stuff/text is my new favorite trick). The font is called St. Nicholas…appropriate, right?

And then I drilled a few holes along the bottom and installed these fabulous knobs from Hobby Lobby.

Total cost? $21, and that’s only because I spend $5 a piece on knobs. You could make this for WAY less.

  7. I'm so glad you showed us this! I had used wooden letters that spelled JOY and glued dowels on them to use for the hanging part. You can see them here http://holdingon2myhope.blogspot.com/2008/12/stockings-are-hung.html

    Well, we added a new addition to our family this year so I was trying to think of something different to use to hang our stockings. I'm going to try this! Thanks so much!

  28. You mention something about painter's tape and small pieces – can you elaborate? I have a new Silhouette, and I'm trying to find all the tricks I can!

  29. YOU could sell these!!! Love the idea. Thanks soooooo much for sharing. Just love it!! Great Christmas gift tooo.

  30. Erin Motes says:

    I making this as we speak but I’m not using a cabinet door. I have a question on the letters – how tall and wide did you make them?

    • Char @ Crap I've Made says:

      I don’t remember and I actually gave my board away. It would kind of depend on the size of your door/board, though…

  31. I HAVE a mantel and I am still making this! Thanks for the inspiration! Found my cute little knobs at Cost Plus World Market (we don’t have a Hobby Lobby) for $1.99! They actually look like poinsettia! :) Total cost $8! I had my wood on hand! YAY!

  32. How did you use the painters tape to transfer small things! Having trouble with small script!

  33. Making 2 small holders to put 3 stockings on each side of my mantle. Thanks for the idea. Excited!

  34. Two variables that you should generally look at any time buying
    and selling Binary Options Economic Indicators are classified as the fiscal indicators for full price income and durable very good requests.
    The objective of the partnership is predicated about
    the next purchase of your specified resource at the established selling price.

    Every day that you just buy and sell, by no means exceed your budget you
    have fixed. This is completely different from those who put money into Fx,
    commodities, and even stocks and shares because of the sheer speed from
    which you’ll want to equally benefit and get rid of your current purchase.

  35. This is such a great idea! I pinned it on Pinterest ages ago and am including it in my Christmas project round up article which will be posted in the next week or so. with a link back here. Soooo cute! Love the knobs, too.

  36. I’m imepessrd you should think of something like that

  37. Apparently this is what the esteemed Willis was talkin’ ’bout.
