This is the very first Christmas that we are spending in our home. I didn't even decorate the last three years, because we were in the middle of moving or in the middle of remodeling our house. Well this year is different. :) We bought our first Christmas tree together and decorated it last night when Baby M was asleep. We also have a fireplace in our living room so I am attempting to make our Christmas stockings this year. They aren't done yet, but I'm hoping to post a picture by the end of the week. In the mean time, I've been searching for cute stocking holders to put on our mantel. I didn't find any I really liked and the ones that were just OK were at least $10 each! I have other things I'd rather spend $40 on right on. So today I made our stocking holders! And it only cost me $15 for all four of them!
Weighted Stocking Holders from Walmart $6 each
Ornaments from Michael's 60% off!
5 minutes and a little fancy craftsmanship with a hot glue gun...
....and VOILA! Done! That's one more thing I can check off my TO DO list. {ignore the bare wall above the fireplace, we haven't gotten any Christmas cards yet, so it's only our own up there right now}
