How do you hang your stockings?

This may be a silly question, but where do you hang your stockings if you don’t have a fireplace? I couldn’t figure it out last year, so I didn’t bother hanging them, but I’d like to put them up this year. I just have no idea where to put them. I don’t really feel like putting nails in random places in the walls

We’ve always let the kids lay them out across the coffee table on Christmas Eve beside the milk and cookies. We don’t have anywhere to hang them so it’s always worked for us.

We use command hooks & place them on the wall next to our tree

I used a blanket ladder and wrapped it with garland and lights and hung them there

Depending what you are putting in them, you can hang them on a tree.

When I was little, a friend of my parents had one tree with gingerbread cookies with all our names on them and a stocking tree, in addition to the Christmas tree.

We use command hooks on the wall near the tree.

Stocking holder, my mom has one

Command hooks! They have pretty ones now too

I used to make it seem like one of my daughter’s larger stuffed animals was holding them

Command hooks as well!

Stocking holders-cheap, easy, and cute.

Little metal hooks on the curtain rod

There are lots of ‘stocking holders’ if you look it up! I was amazed! Lol Hobby Lobby had some i loved!

Along bannister to the upstairs if you have one. My daughter-in-law does this and adds garland. Beautiful.

My mom had a row of school pictures of us and she use to take down our pictures that would be on the wall the rest of the year and put our stockings in place of the pictures

I have literally used thumb tacs/push pins to hang them in wall before. Obviously I set them up nicely in front of the tree on Christmas bc they were till heavy once they were full…but just to display them it worked out great for me for years.

I either hang them on the wall or use decorative stocking hooks to hang them from a shelf. Depends on how I decorate that year.

command hooks. Easy to use and peel right off after with no damage

If you have the wall space and mental fortitude, ive seen people make a cardboard fire place and use command hooks to hang the stockings

We don’t have a fire place! However our boys thought it would
Be cool to make one! So we did :slightly_smiling_face:

Get the command sticky hooks and just hang them on the wall that’s what we did n it looks so cute

My parents used to put ours on the wall going up the stairs but if you have a tv underneath it somehow?

I used command hooks and hung them on their bedroom doors.

We use the stick hooks. For the life of me I can’t think of their names (command hook?), but they don’t damage the walls and hassle free removal.

We stick them up in an open area, hang the stockings, and all done. Win-win all around :smiling_face:

I hang ours on the curtain rods

I spray painted some command hooks rose gold and hang them on the wall under a painting

My mom always hung ours on the steps but my hubby and I just moved into an apartment and im gonna use command strips

We use command hooks and stick them to the only wall in the family room that isn’t full of pictures… in our old place, we would lay them out Christmas eve on the couch. The kids would find them stuffed and standing in the morning.

I have a cute crafty free standing stocking holder

Some decor places actually sell stocking hangers that you just put by your tree

I have always made a fireplace out of construction paper for the kids and Grandkids, then I hang the stockings up

You could hang them on a closet door or you could hang them on window seals

We put them on the end of beds or on the bedroom door handles

Santa brings the stockings and leaves them around the tree

On the back of each chair with a tack

Before we got a fireplace, I use to use the entertainment stand

Get some hooks that come off easily. We always did that before we had a fireplace. Then when the stockings are filled, lay them by the tree

I started hanging the kids stockings on their bedroom doors with an over the door wreath hanger. Christmas morning when they get up, if the stocking is missing they know Santa came! They loved this! It was funny because we would always hear them get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and we would hear them sigh when they realized the stocking was still there! Santa takes the stocking down, fills it and leaves it under the tree! Have fun! They grow up quick!

I’ve hung them up with those sticky hooks…then Christmas morning I just put them by the tree cuz their too heavy to hang!

I have a large decorative mirror that has hooks along the bottom so we hang ours on the hooks. I’ve seen decorative wooden shelves that also have hooks.

We used to hang them on the wall in out mudd room… but last year I had my husband make a stocking tree… kinda looks like charlie brown tree that we hang our stockings

I hang.mine on the curtains until I fill them, then just set them in front of the tree

I use the hooks that come off easy and I place them on the wall next to the tree. It makes for almost a perfect picture

Use some command hooks. They won’t damage your walls. I did that one year and staggered them at an angle on the wall by the tree.

Hooks that release pin the front of my TV table. Then played a fire place Channel on TV .

We always used pillow cases for our Santa gifts and them to our bedposts

Leaned them against presents around the front under the tree

If you have stairs you could hang them down the banister of the stairs and string lights on the banister too.

Last year a Blanket ladder i made by hand for $7. Previous years heavy stocking holders on the window sills.

Get the command hooks hang them below a living room window.

I use my blanket ladder.
Just screw in those hook screw things, and hang them off it with other decorations.

As children, we hung ours on the bookcase ends, my kids had stocking hangers that sat on the shelves. Grandkids and others hung theirs from heavy-duty Command hooks wherever was appropriate in their houses of the time.

Ours hang on the stair banisters. The second floor stairway is open to the living room and the banister is an easy visible place for them.

They make metal stocking hooks that are like giant paperweights and sit on a shelf where it can hang off the edge of the shelf

We put ours behind and around the tree. I use the stick on hooks to hang them and then use the hooks year round for our dog leash and her vest and what not

We don’t hang ours. Santa brings them when he comes.

We had a bookcase where we would hang them and you could decorate the bookcase with a nativity scene.

Honestly wherever is convenient for you. I have in the past used command hooks on the wall. Fridge. Banisters. Or even just waited until Santa came and propped the stuffed stocking against the tree.

They got good heavy decorative stuff with hooks on them, use a coat tree, or even blanket ladder

I use the 3M sticky hooks, or if they’re too heavy I’ll just lean them against the presents

I used this even though i have a fireplace. Google stocking stands; even sold at bed bath beyond.

I use the mantle hangers but hang them from a book case. One year we put them from the hanger at the breakfast table

Do you have stairs? I hung mine from.the side of the steps in my old house. It worked pretty well

I put themnon the walls with push pins. Much smaller holes than nails. Less work too.

I thumbed tacked ours to the wall

Our parents used to hang them on our bedposts

We used the window seat growing up at the family house. We also put them around the tree

We use command strips on the wall by the stairs
