Stocking Advent Calendar

This year I found an idea on pinterest for DIY advent calendar. The original inspiration used baby Christmas socks. Well, baby socks are expensive...especially Christmas socks. And to buy 24 of them is anywhere from $15-$30. So rather than baby socks, I used the mini stockings you can get at Walmart. Again, I am not that crafty, so excuse my amateur materials if you have a machine or material that can make it look better or more professional.

MATERIALS
24 green and red mini stockings (4 pack from Walmart is $1)
Red/White mini pom poms
Tacky Glue
1 sheet of red card stock
1 sheet of green card stock
Bulletin board
Scrap holiday print material (usually $2-3 at fabric stores)

It's a pretty easy craft to do. Little explanation is needed so I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. 

 I used tacky glue to glue the cardstock on and hot glue for the mini pom poms. 

 Two different scrap materials. I ended up only using 1 of them. 

 A staple in each corner once you have trimmed the material down will suffice to hold it in place. Also, I used clear thumb tacks to hook the stockings on. 

And yes, I am fully aware that there are only 12 stockings. To fit all 24 on would require a huge cork board. My plan is to switch them out after the 12th. This works great if you have little ones or spouses who may try to snitch ahead. To fill the stockings you can do whatever is appropriate in your family. I just bought generic candy and have some fancy chocolate for the 24th.
