First, I wanted the stockings to align with my Old World Christmas theme this year. I added vintage and thrifted finds in addition to dried florals and oranges. Rich velvet ribbons and bows contribute to the classic look of the theme and provide a lovely contrast against the rough textures of the vintage items and dried florals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating bronze bells adds a touch of tradition, especially when placed delicately on top of your stockings. I love the beauty and nostalgia that comes with this Old World Christmas theme!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s combine two of these elements to elevate our hanging Christmas stockings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Add Ribbon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I bought this gorgeous 1″ wide velvet ribbon<\/a> in the color “antique gold”. I cut long lengths of the ribbon, ensuring each piece was appropriately scaled to my specific stockings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I tied the ribbon into a bow with two long ribbon tails on either side. To secure the bows to the stockings, I decided to use ornament wire. I weaved the wire through the knot of each bow, then firmly wrapped it around the hanging loop of the stocking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Add Antique Bells<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your velvet ribbon tied, it’s time to add the bells! I used a set of similar bells to make my DIY Christmas swag wreath<\/a> a couples years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These bells come in a set of 20 from Amazon<\/a>. I hooked two bells onto one another using more Christmas ornament hanging wire, then added a second piece of wire with an additional bell so that it hung lower than the other two to provide some depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there you have it! Easily elevate your hanging Christmas stockings with these 2 Amazon products and a few ornament hooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the process, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
