Of all the Christmas traditions, hanging a stocking on the mantlepiece feels like one of those childhood moments we get to relive time and time again, waiting for Santa to come and fill them up with gifts. But what if you don't have a mantle?

Luckily, you don't have to miss out on all the fun. There are plenty of other ways to integrate your stockings into other elements of your decor. That way, they'll look perfectly natural and can even become a focal point in their own right, way before Christmas Eve.
