I don't know about you guys but I had a hard time finding something to hold my burlap stockings that I really loved. So naturally I decided to make my own. I wanted something cute, unique, and of course cheap (especially with lots of craft store coupons!!) The answer was simple, Pinecones, I mean how could I possibly mess up a pinecone stocking holder.
What you will need:
-Pinecones (one for each holder)
-Wood plaques (less then $1 each)
-White spray paint (small cans are about $4)
-A glue gun
Ok now are you ready for the extremely complicated directions?? You simply glue the pinecones to the wooden plaque, you may have to trim the bottom of the pinecone so it will sit flat. Once the glue dries spray paint the entire thing white. You will have to hold it upside down to get in the little crevices of the pinecone and you may have to do more then one coat. When it dries admire your handy work! Seriously how simple is that. Here is what ours look like.
And here are our stockings hanging on our fireplace!
Sorry for the poor quality photos I used my phone instead of our camera!
