Junkers Unite With a Stocking Holder, 12 Days of Christmas, Day 7

 No fireplace or mantel to hang your stockings?  No problem!  Here is a fun and easy solution that can be used not only for the stockings but year round.
Today, I am not only sharing another one of my 12 days of Christmas projects (day 7 by the way--no bad poem today though), but I am also joining with other junkers to bring you easy, low to no cost projects for Christmas.  So stay in your fuzzy jammies a bit longer, grab a second cup, and enjoy these creative ideas.

I started with 4 thrift store frames that I painted in the colors I am using for Christmas this year. The beauty of this project is you can use as many frames as you need for your family.  In the future I think I would use all flat frames like the 2 red ones, but the others do work and add interest.

I cut 3/4" plywood to fit into each frame--1/2 would work too, I just didn't have any on hand. Paint the plywood with chalkboard paint.

I used Gorilla Glue epoxy to adhere the chalkboards to the frames, let it dry, and then joined the frames together with a thin piece of plywood screwed into the chalkboards.  Paint the back white.

I added the hooks--2 on the flat frames and 2 on the chalkboards.

Not only is this perfect for Christmas stockings,

but it would work in an entry for coats and bags and keys,

or in a kitchen for towels and aprons--the chalkboards give you a place for shopping lists and menus.

    Ridiculously clever girl!!! So soooo cool! Never thought to put together picture frames to create something so useful and beautiful. I love the colours, the bounce of the letters, the fact that you can write and hang. NEED.

    I L-O-ve this!! I've been needing inspiration for our new lower level entry way and this is going to be great!! Instead of chalkboards though I'm going to use black and whites of the kids!
