-
Attach Your Boards
Attach your two 1x6 boards using 1 1/4" long pocket hole screws, creating an "L" shape.

Apply Stain
Stain your piece using a color of your choice. I used an Early American stain for my set of stocking holders.

Add Hook
Use a screwdriver or drill to attach a small key hook to the bottom center of the front of your stocking holder.

Add Embellishment
I picked up a glitter snowflakes from the craft store for mine, but you could use any holiday embellishment you choose. Attach it using a hot glue gun or a brad nailer (depending on whether it's a wooden embellishment).
