The stocking holder features a sophisticated low-profile design that will not interfere with other Christmas decorations displayed on the mantel, such as Christmas villages or garlands. What's more, these stocking holders are a good choice for households with pets and small children. Ordinary stocking holders often consist of very heavyweights that can fall on curious children or pets. These amazing stocking holders are the answer! Weighing only a few ounces each, these durable clips hold stockings in place safely and securely. With their sturdy metal construction, they support even the fullest stockings (up to 10 lbs). Clear soft gripper pads hold the mantel clips in place while protecting the mantel surface from scratches. Use these versatile mantel clips to display Christmas stockings, holiday ornaments, and colorful garlands.
