This is a quick and easy build. These stocking hangers would make a great gift, or an addition to your holiday decor. You can make 6 stocking hangers from one 8 foot 1x6 board, which you can find at most home improvement stores. You could even use scrap wood to build these houses, as they can be customized to fit whatever size of wood you have handy. This project is perfect for a beginner woodworker.

Make sure you get a nice, straight board, without many knots. Trace the included templates onto the board, or draw them yourself. You’ll also need 1- 6” board as a base for each Christmas house. The plans call for 6 houses and 6 bases per board.
Drill pocket holes in the 6” bases. Sand, then stain or paint all of your pieces.
Use 1 ¼” pocket hole screws and wood glue to attach your 6” base pieces to the backside of your house.
Drive a cute screw or nail into your pilot hole. This is what you will hang your stocking on. I used a 2” horseshoe nail.
Place on your mantle. You can add tea light candles or a strand of twinkle lights behind the houses, so the light glows through your windows. I recommend using battery operated lights, just in case one gets knocked over.
