Okay, I totally scored some wool knit stockings at a consignment gallery for less than $3 each. I am now extremely reluctant to buy holders that cost 4 times as much. I googled DIY stocking holders but I haven't had any luck. Has anyone made their own before that was strong enough to hold a filled stocking? I'm thinking maybe Christmas mugs filled with rocks or something, but then I don't know how to attach the stocking loop to the handle. Too complicated?
