DIY Nativity Stocking Holders

 

 

I have a gorgeous glass nativity set that I got for my wedding.  I would love to display it in my entryway, but I have 3 little ones and 10 nieces and nephews who frequent my house so alas I do not display my beautiful nativity.  However, Christmas isn’t Christmas to me without one.  That is part one of how this tutorial came to be.  Part two: I got some fancy silver stocking holders that read NOEL when I had my last baby…or what I thought was my last baby.  I had a little miracle child the next year {she is my official last baby}.  But I only had 4 stocking holders…and baby is now 4.  Thus the reason for creating these new stocking holders I am going to share with you today. 

Supply List:

5 Vinyl Nativity Pieces sized to 2” x 4” (one more reason to own a Silhouette)

1 2” x 4” x 20” piece of lumber from the hardware store

5 ugly stocking holders from the dollar store

E-6000 glue

White acrylic paint

brown stain

sanding block

Instructions:

1. Cut your lumber in 4” pieces.

2. Paint white.  When the paint dries, sand the sides and some little bits in the middle.  Paint on stain and quickly wipe the stain off.  This makes the blocks look not so bright and more aged.  Apply the vinyl pieces.

 

3. Break the ugly snowman, glitter, and  holly off the dollar store stocking holders. Sand down the tops so they are smooth and level.

 

4. Get some E-6000 glue to adhere your nativity blocks on the stocking holders.

 

5.  Apply the glue and press onto the stocking holders.  Wipe off any glue that seep under the blocks.  This glue takes about 24 hours to set, but I just put them on my mantle and they can set there. {hehe}

Sit back and enjoy your super cute Nativity Stocking Holders!
