Bins Find – Vintage Christmas Stockings

January 29, 2015 by Sarah Kline Leave a Comment

A couple years back I bought one like these from an artist specializing in vintage and repurposed items. She had the top seam finished off with a reprinted vintage Christmas Card, folded over. This week I found a total of five of these empty stockings at the bins, and next Christmas I am going to take that same basic idea and do that with these.

Perhaps I will then fill them with tiny packages of homemade treats — or just with purchased mini treats of a similar theme (nuts? wrapped truffles? breakfast treats?) and then leave the filled stockings on the doorknobs of friends’ front doors.

Wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing to wake up to?

(approximate cost of items: a quarter)
