I grew up in a house with no fireplace – no chimney – no mantel. When it came time to hanging Christmas stockings every year, instead of reciting the line from a Night Before Christmas...
…the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. My siblings and I replaced “the chimney” with “the window”.
That’s me on the right in 1962. I was 3 years old. My twin sister, Carol is looking at the camera and my brother Greg is concentrating hard on the task at hand.
My dad fashioned a way to hang our stockings from the window sill in the dining room of the house I grew up in.
He cut a dowel the width of the window and placed it behind the opened sash. He tied 3 long pieces of red wire (4 when our little sister was born) from it and then closed the window to secure the rod. We hung our stockings from the wire. When the holidays were over, he would open the window, remove the dowel, wrap the wire around it and store it for the next year.
Earlier this fall, when I first saw the photo on this years cover of BHG Christmas Ideas magazine that shows stockings hung along a staircase banister, not on a mantel, it got me thinking. Thinking about hanging my Christmas stocking as a child from a window sill.
It also got me thinking I may change things up this year and better get to work. If you have not been following along. 5 other bloggers and I are sharing Christmas projects and ideas every Friday until Christmas. I have linked to their projects at the end of this post.
Since I know for a fact that Santa will fill our stockings no matter where we place them, I decided to hang them along the staircase banister.
This year I am decorating for Christmas using the color scheme of black, white, and green with lots of glitter, silver, and gold. You can see more of what I am doing, here. Of course there will be hints of turquoise in the mix
I picked out these Striped Wonder stockings from Tiny Prints. I chose them since they are in my favorite color of green. I used garland ties to attach them to the garland that is draped over the banister. I had each one personalized with our initials. Tiny Prints has many fonts to choose from, but I could not settle on one font to personalize them, so I created each stocking using a different font.
In previous years, I used cup hooks to hang the Christmas stockings on the mantel in the family room. I drilled small holes under the top board. When the holidays are over, I unscrew them and store the hooks in the stockings. Since the holes are under the board they are hidden from view.
I also ordered metal photo ornaments from Tiny Prints using photos of my siblings when we were little at Christmastime. I placed them in between each stocking on staircase garland. I decided since the photos were taken in the early 60’s and are black and white they would go nicely with my chosen color scheme. You can’t see in these photos, but the ornaments are two sided. You can use 2 photos for each ornament.
Each photo ornament comes in a gift bag and a red satin ribbon to hang it.
I liked the ornaments the way they are sold, but I added my own style in the way of silver ribbon and a jingle bell to the bottom of each ornament. Christmas is not Christmas in my house without candles, music, glitter, ornaments, greenery, and lots of jingle bells.
The ornaments come with a hole on the top to thread ribbon or a hook through to hang them.
I used my rotary drill to make a hole in the bottom.
I used jump rings that I bought in the jewelry making aisle at the crafts store to attach the jingle bells to each ornament.
I also ordered 2 metal ornaments in color. I am going to hang these on my tree, but it is not up yet, so for the time being, I hung the ornament of my mom and dad from a doorknob. It is one way to keep their memory alive, especially since Christmas is not Christmas without them. I placed a boxwood sprig from the ribbon.
The other metal ornament is of my daughters when they were little. It was made from a Polaroid photo – you know the kind you receive when you get your kid’s photos taken with a shopping mall Santa. It was not the best resolution, but the TinyPrints designer review made sure it looked OK. It actually looks better than the original grainy photo.
How do you hang your Christmas stockings? Do you move them to a different place each year or do they always grace a mantel?

For my daughters who cherish personal or handmade gifts at Christmas, I would order the ornaments, using their childhood Chirstmas photos along with Chirstmas photos of their children (human and canine). For my 96 year old mom, photos of her as a girl. Christmas is for the child in us, right? So, what better way, than keepsake pictures of them as children, to keep alive the awe and wonder of Christmas.

I never knew tiny prints had home decor items. Thanks for this giveaway which took me to their site to discover the many unique ideas. I love their personalized throw. We are redoing a flooded guest cottage and call it Hammock Haven and love one of the throws with that on it.

Elise Stopper says
I love these ornaments and the jingle bell is the perfect addition! I think I will need to order these to add to our decorations! I order my my Christmas cards from Tiny Prints every year and always have a hard time choosing because they offer so many beautiful options. I’m crossing my fingers that I get one really great picture this year…last year I had to do a collage of pictures because I could not get my three boys to behave at the same time. If I’m able to do a single photo card then I will choose Merrily Frosted. Thank you for the inspiration to personalize our decorations a little more!!!
Joyce says
I have a new grandchild this year and so I would like to get the Dots and Joy ornament for his first Christmas.

Becky says
Tiny Prints is an incredible web site. I loved the picture ornaments and stockings.
Vicki says
No fireplace at my childhood home either so my parents bought one of those wonderful cardboard fireplaces with the red and white painted “bricks.” Not sure if we ever questioned the validity of Santa’s path down such fireplace! But oh, what delightful memories!
Tarah says
I would order the Delicate Quilting stocking in red
Shannon says
The acrylic photo blocks would be perfect for our twin babies!
Linda S. says
Those metal ornaments would be great to win–although I see they have a wide selection, and I’d have a difficult time picking them out and which pictures to use for my two grown kids.
Lauren says
Love, love, love what you did with the ornaments and old photos. I have a ton of old photos I’d love to do the same with. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for the giveaway! :)
Patricia says
Thank you for sharing this Lovely idea about the Tiny Prints ornaments, my favorite from their website. I’m off to my Mom’s house to find pictures of me and my sister. She will be so surprised Christmas Morning! Thank you for the Giveaway opportunity.

Everything from Tiny Prints is amazing. I can envision sitting on my sofa with one of their blanket beauties on my lap while looking at our tree decked out with adorable family photo ornaments!
Love you color scheme….such a great sense of style!! Thanks for sharing.
Pam Clark says

Cheri Oggy says
I would definitely get some of the glass ornaments. They are beautiful!!
Karen says
The ornaments are darling — they would make wonderful gifts for my husband’s (he’s got 4 siblings) and my (I’ve got 2 siblings) families. It’s always tough buying gifts for family members you don’t see very often. Using old photos to make ornaments that they could enjoy every year is such a sweet and creative gift.
Deborah P. says
I would love to use some old black and white photos of my family and my husband’s family for metal keepsake ornaments and make some for my daughters to have for their trees one day. Of course I might also like to buy Christmas cards if I win. Decisions, decisions!
Kathy E. says
So many cool things to choose from! I’m most interested in Fancy Forest Christmas Stockings…they are so cute!

Starr says
I love the ornament that you ordered so I would use the gift certificate to order one for each of my ten grandchildren .

A friend is doing a family portrait for me this year. I would love to put it onto a metal print.

Tracey Garcia says
Wow, so many cute items! I love the Herringbone throws!
katieQ says
I would choose to have two Lush Blossoms Linen Acrylic Photo Blocks with my son’s wedding picture. One for me and the other for him and his bride.
melinda ke says
I love how your metal ornaments turned out, really cute how you added the bells! There is an old photo of my mom when she was a child standing in front of their christmas tree, I would love to have metal ornaments made for my siblings with the photo of her…I know they would love them!
Marilyn says
I love the metal ornaments you shared, and would probably choose the Favorite Memory Metal Ornaments. Lots of nice choices, though. Thanks for the giveaway, Diane.
Gina M says
I like the striped wonder stocking in the turquoise color way. I have lots of aqua and green in my Christmas decorating!
Debbie says
Photo ornaments! Would love to gift my sisters (far away) with some old photo memories!
Peggy Maxwell says
I would LOVE to win $100 credit to Tiny Prints to buy personalized Christmas ornaments or stockings. My teenager wants a new one so badly and she would love to choose one from this company. So many cute options.
ruby says
we use old photos to make birthday cards, but would love to have ornaments of my people!
Kris Fisher says
I would get the Favorite Memory Metal print with our family picture. We RV full time so decorating is a challenge, but I think this print would fit right in. I’m really enjoying this series! Thank you!
Susan says
My family grew up with no fireplace also and we always hung our stockings along our stairway bannister!! For years we wore matching footy pajamas (4 of us girls) and have many black&white photos of us standing along the little bannister behind our stockings. We lost one of my sisters who is now deceased and I would LOVE to order some of the metal ornaments for myself and my 2 sisters to remember those happy days and so that our own children who never knew her (and future grandchildren!) can see as well! Thank you for the many creative ideas you share!!!!!!
marly says
I really do love the striped wonder stockings.
Beverly Hayes says
I would use the 100.00 to order my Christmas cards from them! They have a great selection and I love their attention to quality! Thank you so much!
Sandy P says
I love the metal ornaments! I have lots of old black and white pictures of my family in black frames…..and the black and white ornaments would compliment the whole scheme of the room! I am going to order some anyway……with pics of my children and now, my grandchildren! How adorable! And I have jingle bells in the drawer waiting!
Wonderful idea!
Lauretta says
I love these metal ornaments! My colors are red, gold and green with rustic touches.
Lynn says
Oh, does it ever sound like you inherited your Dad’s cleverness! And what a wonderful sweet photo of you three hanging your stockings1
I would love one of Tinyprints custom stamps … as it is they are a little out of my ‘retirement’ budget :-(
Your article in BH&G, BTW, was the best thing in that special issue! The turquoise was just unbelievably ‘Christmas.’
Elizabeth S. says
I would love to order some of these ornaments for in-laws. I think they would love some of my husband and his sister. Thanks for sharing.
Lori M says
I *LOVE* those tiny photo ornaments! I would love a whole tree or garland decorated with just lights and those.. carrying on memories of Christmas’ past. I’d also love to give them away to family members as they visited during the holidays. What a memorable little gift that would be for my guests!
Kimberly Bruhn says
Thank you for the chance to win some great nostalgic fun! I would love to make some of the ornaments in metal … yes, a copycat! I have one of those French bottle dryers (kind of looks like a tree?) that I want to put special ornaments and I would add these cuties to that. Thanks again for the inspiration!
Linda Lander says
I not only have picture treasures from my own childhood, my own children’s pictures as well as two special grandchildren’s pictures…I would love to combine all of those generations into special ordnaments for my tree now and ones that I could pass down….
In regard to hanging stockings, I have used a red ladder to hang family stockings…It can be moved easily and does not interfere with other decorations. Plus, there is always room for one more stocking if the number of guests increases at the last minute (that tends to happen from time to time)
RosieW says
What fun things in her shop. I’d love the Favorite Memory pillow, first of all. We had all but one family member together in August and the group picture is great of the 17 of us. For myself, the Loving Ombre stocking!
We had friends without a fireplace. When they moved into a home with one, their youngest said “Oh great! Santa won’t have to come through the oven anymore.”
Rosie
Stephani says
They have so much great stuff! I love the pillows and throws, but I would probably end up buying personalized stationary. I can never get enough!
Brenda says
It is my youngest daughter’s first Christmas….we just had her 10mos pictures taken so I’d put one of those in the Favorite Memory glass ornaments. Thank you for sharing all of your creative ideas….love your blog!
Beth G. says
I really love the metal photo ornaments, too! What a nice family heirloom, keepsake!
Linda says
Two of my three daughters have “significant others” who are becoming a part of our family traditions. The girls have their own stockings but the boys do not. I’d get stockings, Snowflake Impression in red for one with the classy monogram (that’s just his style) and Frosty Fireworks with a script initial in red for the other. Those stockings would look good alongside the girls’ stockings.
Chris says
I’d love to order their Favorite Memory Canvas Art. We did a family photo session a few months ago. It’s hard to get us all together since I live so far from the rest of my immediate family but we had a great time. Putting the prints on canvas would be a fantastic way to celebrate the family. Thanks for the giveaway Diane!
Beth Ellis says
I would order 2 Dots and Joy ornaments and a Beary Wonderful and a Santa Surprise stocking for my 2 new “grands”,
Keegan born in Feb. and Allie Mae born in Aug.
Christy says
I would get some of those ornaments if I won! Every year, I get my girls ornaments with the idea that when they have a house of their own, I’ll have a meaningful gift for them for that first Christmas. These would be so perfect!
Karen Myatt says
I love the picture of you and your siblings hanging stockings. Simpler times… I have been thinking about how to make my Christmas decorating easier and more meaningful for me and my family. Excellent ideas! Thank you!
Euna Ridenour says
I have a 1950s aluminum Christmas tree, and I would love to fill it with these little pictures of our Christmases from years past! Please enter me in your giveaway! In everything, give thanks, GrandmaSoucie
Sally says
I’d choose invitations for our annual ‘Night Before the Night Before Christmas’ party – on Dec. 23rd almost everyone is available! And maybe one of the lovely throws to keep warm by the fireplace. I also hand our stockings from the railing – too many for the mantle now. Lovely!
Elaine Hankins says
The photo ornaments are fantastic!!! I do love the herringbone throws, too!
CathyS says
What a most precious memory of your dad. How clever and unique a way to hang the Christmas stockings!

Katie says
We buy a new ornament every year, so I would love a Tiny Print ornament!

Kari H says
I would love to win and get the Winter Garden pillows in different colors to coordinate with my decorating. Love those pillows! Thanks for the giveaway!
Debbie Carlson says
I like the Shining and Happy cards and also Cozy Tiding cards for Christmas. I love the ornaments you made!
We hung our stockings on the bannister when I was a kid. Then my dad build a fake brick wall in our living room to divide the entry and the living area and then the stockings got hung from there.
Cathy says
Love your blog and creative ideas. The Tiny Prints ‘Merry Prints’ ornaments are lovely.
Jan says
The metal ornaments are a great idea! Oh, and the first house I lived in had no fireplace, but my parents bought a cardboard one somewhere (three-dimensional!), and we used that.

Tiny Prints is the best! We get our holiday cards from there every year and any birth announcements/invitations. Their designers are so helpful and friendly! Our daughter was born last year and we started ordering the metal photo ornaments with the year as a gift to our families. Would order more of those for this year as well as a 16×20 canvas wrap I’ve been dying to order but won’t let myself splurge on. :)
Melissa says
I would also buy a roll of their custom wrapping paper which is SO CUTE AND unecessary but an item you just want but won’t let yourself buy for $20.00 / roll.
Christy Keytion says
Oh my goodness – those ornaments are TOO cute! I want some of those!
Cindy says
Oh, I so love these ornaments. My Mom & Dad made Christmas so special, but they’re both gone and my siblings live hundreds of miles away, so the ornaments would be a great way to honor and remember….
Lisa says
My daughter is going to have her first baby any day now! I would love to make photo ornaments just like yours, for the Christmas tree with photos of family and my new baby granddaughter.
love your ideas!

Linda Southworth says
Oh the monogrammed herringbone throws…how cute!
Terrisa karaus says
I love the monogram blankets
Nancy Carr says
I love your ideas. I saw the “Happy Home” pillow on the Tiny Prints website, so I must have that and some of the ornaments, too. I was going to ask you how you got the hole in the bottom of the ornaments, so thanks for explaining that. My photos are mostly packed right now, so most of the ornaments I will order will be after I move, but the pillow and a few photo ornaments will be great for now as I can take photos of my girls — my dogs. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
Terry says
My daughter is due to have our first grandchild in April. I would use Tiny Prints for invitations to the shower!

Rachel reddin says
I love their wooden block ornaments!! Too cute!
Kim Henrichs says
I would LOVE the delicate quilting stocking!!

patricia says
that sure s a cute photo of you and your siblings Diane, Happy Holidays to you all
Irene Woodworth says
What a great idea on your ornaments with your family pix from Tiny Prints. I like their style. You inspire me. I have been making lots of ornaments from scrapbook paper, fabric, older sheet music, etc. But these photo ornaments would be fabulous to purchase for the family if I won your $100.00 giveaway.
I am making one of your paper garlands. Great idea and simple to do. Thank you for coming up with such fun creative ideas!
Have a Colorful Day!
Irene
