What You’ll Need to Make a DIY Stocking Hanger Box:

1×6 regular white board, 6 or 8′ length. I bought two 6′ boards so they’d fit in my car.

Safety Goggles

Finish Nailer with 1 and 1/2″ Brad Nails

Measuring tape

Sander. I used an orbital sander, but sandpaper, or sanding blocks would work fine.

Circular Saw

Crystal Knobs

Drill with 1/4″ bit

Semi-gloss White Paint

Paint Brush

How to Make a DIY Stocking Hanger Box:

Step 1:

Using a pencil and ruler, measure out your wood pieces.

Use a saw to cut out each piece of wood. Remember your safety glasses:)

Step 2:

Using a nail gun, nail together the front and side wood pieces.

Step 3:

Add on the bottom piece with a nail gun.

Step 4:

Add on the back piece with a nail gun. This should complete the stocking box. Leaving an opening in the top.

Step 5:

Using a sander, sand all sides of the wood box. Wipe clean with a paper towel after sanding.

Step 6: 

Paint the boxes. I chose a semi-gloss white from The Home Depot. I added a couple of coats to the boxes, drying in between paint coats.

Step 7:

Using a drill, add a hold for hardware.

I used a ruler to measure the exact middle point for my fancy knobs.

Add knobs or hooks to each stocking hanger box.

Line up the stocking boxes on your mantle. If you do not have a mantle, a console table would be such a fun place to add these stocking holder boxes.

Hang the stockings from each knob. I love how these cute white boxes look lined up on my mantle.

To add some color, we added boxwood balls to the stocking hanger boxes.

We also thought the open top boxes, would be perfect for delivering family notes throughout the month of December.

Theses stocking hanger boxes would also make great spots to leave little treasures from the Elves:)
