I haven’t changed my Christmas theme or colors in many years so this was the year! I made the move to aqua, lime green, white and silvers and I love it! As I work through my bins and get things decorated I continue to discover more things I need to ‘update’. Stocking hangers were one of them. I checked a few places and quickly discovered they cost way more than I want to pay.I found these beautiful bird holders at JoAnne Fabrics at a whopping $29,99 each; multiplied by 4 and we’re talking $120.oo – OUCH.
I decided I needed to make my own.
I started with plain stocking hangers I found at Walmart for $5.98 a 2 pack.
Step #1: Prime them using Kilz Spray Primer.
Next, I needed something for the top of the hangers. I found these cute birds at Goodwill for $2.99 each, however I didn’t love the colors.
Step #2: Prime the birds with the same primer.
Step #3: Using E6000, glue the birds to the stocking hangers.
Step #4: Spray paint with Rust-Oleum Blossom White spray paint.
Step #5: Immediately after spraying cover them in glitter.

Total cost for 4 stocking hangers: $24.00
Love you more than saving almost $100!

Hi, I'm Sunday and yes, that's my name! I love DIY projects and the thrill of making something great-for cheap. I'm here to share tips for the DIY'er at heart from a wife, mom, and pastor. What do you do with your Sunday Afternoon?
Awesome idea! I know….I can’t believe how expensive they are…doesn’t make sense. You could do any theme you wanted like this…I love it! :)

Those are darling, Sunday! I love how you can take something cute but rather dated or to colorful, add some spray paint and you have a hip, in-style item! Well done! And saving more than 100 is way cool too!
