DIY Saturday: Decorative Christmas Stocking Holder

By Manuela Williams

I came across this cute and easy Christmas project and just had to share it! It’s a decorative Christmas stocking holder made from a cedar planter box! This is just for displaying pretty Christmas stockings, not for ones that you are actually going to fill though (unless you weight the box down). I love this idea because you can fill the box part with all kinds of decorative things – anything from pinecones to shiny Christmas tree ornaments!

This would be so pretty on a mantel, shelf or anything that you decorate like a mantel. I found it on the Home Depot blog.

It has a bit of a rustic/country feel to it. But I think you could glam up this DIY Christmas Stocking Holder  if you added some shiny Christmas balls instead of the pinecones and didn’t sand the box to give a distressed look.

DIY Decorative Christmas Stocking Holder

Supplies:

  • Cedar Planter box (you can buy them online if you can’t find one in your store)
  • Decorative Hooks
  • Behr Forbidden Red Interior/Exterior Paint Sample

  • Minwax 8 oz. Oil-Based Classic Gray Wood Finish Interior Stain

*Of course, if red doesn’t work with your Christmas decor, just choose a color that does!

Screwdriver
Drill

    What a great idea for a stocking holder.

    It would work well for someone who doesn’t have a mantel.

    Hi Manuela! It has been forever since I have been blogging and I stopped in to see what you have been doing. Oh my goodness…that is soooooooo cute. What a great idea. I just went around and gathered all my autumn decorations today but still have to start on my holiday decor.

    Hugs from Holland,
