Every year I drool over all the beautiful stockings available. Every year I promise myself that NEXT YEAR I'll spend the money on the quirky/classic ones we'll use for years to come. Every year I say the same thing because... well... it makes the more frugal part of my brain hurt to think about spending $200+ on Anthro or Free People stockings. I just can't do it.
Last year Johnny found these basic knit stockings at Walgreens and I snatched them up. I knew I could do *something* with them to spice them up a bit. Oh, and they were on clearance so I think I got the four of them for $20. Ahhhh. That feels better.
A little, simple embellishing goes a long way, friends. I had some leftover trim from our bedroom curtain DIY and robbed some soft yarn and poms from my stash. Here's a peek at where I started vs. where I've ended:
I spent several evenings customizing these guys into something that I think fits very well with the DIY aesthetic I have going on here at home. I like that they are all slightly different, but work so well as a group.
I am pretty pleased with myself, I have to admit. Adding the glitter letters I found in a wrapping section at the store really makes them shine. *High five*
What are is your dream holiday decor like? Is there one thing in particular that you obsess over? Am I the only crazy person fixated on stockings?
These are super cute -Like Hanna

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Katie, Johnny, Hope and Posey.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with your stockings. What an awesome bargain they were. There's no way in the world I'd spend some an scary amount of money on a stocking either. I'm very frugal too. My two oldest kids still have and use their first Christmas stockings and they're 21 and 18 yrs old! I got them on special too. I think about updating them, but they won't have it. I'm always inspired by what you create and love to make things fir my home too. Wishing you and yours a very happy and blessed Christmas from Australia 🇦🇺
FAB!!! love them!
