Inspiration needed! What do you use to hang yours?

Ours have loops sewn on and I just sellotape them to the mantlepiece. The tape is hidden under the garland I hang.

I have a string of silver stars with fairy lights and pegs attached. I hang 5 stockings. No idea where I bought it but it'a a few years olds!

I take them down on Xmas eve to fill and then leave them under the tree.

I have hooks that are flat discs that sit on the unit with hooks underneath.

Green Christmasy coloured jute string to hang stockings on their bedroom door handle. Our stove is too hot to hang stuff over.

I have the same as @minipie as they are discreet.

Command hooks, I use them for everything.

Those are lovely.

My DC are in their 20s , the stockings hold their presents (which are usually very small and £ so very few )
They have gorgeous tapestry with lights stockings , just propped up against something and the lights off as they wake them up.! Xmas Shock

When they were little , stockings were to keep them quiet at 5am.
Now you won't get them awake before 9am and nothing happens before coffee Xmas Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/08/2022 16:00

Just to answer the question though - nothing hanging or the cats would be swinging on them Xmas Grin

MsSquiz · 29/08/2022 16:06

@KyaClark & @MotherOfPuffling I got ours from not on the high street.

Here's a link to the seller I got ours from, but there are others with different designs too

@MsSquiz they're lovely, can you say where from? Mine are old and a bit rubbish.

Crucible · 29/08/2022 16:07

Sorry gotcha!

MsSquiz · 29/08/2022 16:12

Just because I love it so much, here's my festive fire place with stockings & holders 🎅🏻

Thank you, @MsSquiz

Your fireplace looks like how I want mine to look (mines similar but I've no idea how to style it!).

What do you have on it during the rest of the year? Derails thread

MsSquiz · 29/08/2022 18:32

Currently it has 2 willow tree figurines, a vase of flowers & a baby monitor camera on it.
It also has 2 coasters on it that you can't see with DD1's footprint on it.

In the winter I tend to swap round and have 2 glass candle holders where the figures are and then flowers or a big chunky scented candle in the middle. (You can see the candle holders in the Christmas pic)

Clearly my stocking hanging is just not up to scratch! Loving the cast iron holders!

KyaClark · 30/08/2022 09:16

It's lovely @MsSquiz

I just can't get mine right.

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 30/08/2022 19:29

I gave up on stockings years ago as I couldn’t be bothered squishing things in. Instead I use Christmas sacks that Santa leaves at the bedroom door.

If anyone else fell in love with these too, they're for sale on Etsy as well. Same seller. Cheaper. And if you "favourite" the item and wait a bit, they'll send you a 10% off coupon.
