I just love Christmas stockings! It’s partly that cozy Christmas feeling they add to the room when they hang from our mantel. I have to admit though, I also really love stuffing stockings and opening stockings. That’s why I just adore this super cute Stockings Were Hung Sign.

You see, it’s easy to pick out something, wrap it, and pop it under the tree. Well, at least, most of the time it’s easy. My son in law is notoriously difficult to shop for. But I digress. What I love about stockings is that you have to use some creativity when it comes to filling them. After all, you have limited space.

This fun Stockings Were Hung Sign takes about 45 minutes to make. Although you do need a Cricut (or Silhouette or similar machine that uses SVG files – free download below!), the rest of the supplies are quite economical.

For a fun variation on this sign, use a wooden board instead of a frame and add hooks under the stocks to turn this into an adorable stocking holder.
