Vintage cut out found
 

Hi, I got this at a thrift store a couple years ago. It was a cut out and I quilted both sides and the top is open so I need to bind the top and add a hanger on one side to hang on the door or window. The pattern suggested put some evergreens coming out of the top. Do you girls and guys have any suggestion for this. I will hang on my door. Wow if you had a fire place it would look nice above it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]620939[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]620940[/ATTACH]

That is so cool - what a nostalgic treasure you have found!

That is really cool!

Tartan , It is open at the top and I am going to bind and thank you for reminding me about the loop at one corner. I will do that and if it does not hang good, I will use one of those commanders on the door and other piece on the stocking. Do you think I need to add any thing else the the stocking? It has some nice glitter already on it.I could sew a red metal jingle bell to his had? Thanks for all you help!

That’s just beautiful, brings back memories of childhood. If you had a floating shelf even if you didn’t have a mantle it would be great as a stocking. Can’t wait to see the picture of the thing you’re thinking about making though.

What a great vintage Santa! And look at the toys in his sack... not one 'electronic' or battery-operated in sight! That's my kind of Santa... :D

I think Command hangers can only be used inside -- not outside. Check the package before purchasing.

That is awesome!

That was a great find. Love the nostalgic look of it.

They can be used outside. I have a command hook on my outside glass door and it has hung there for years. I hang a very heavy real wreath on it every Christmas. It is one of the heavier ones tho.
No problems

That is a great Santa, I love the look.

I have a Command hook on the outside of my door but we do have a porch. Love the Santa! What a find!!

This reminds me that my young grandson was so fascinated with a wind up music box toy that he found at my house. "Look, Dad. See what it does!" All he has experienced is battery-operated. Much as the older grandson has never experienced a phone attached to the wall. Even before cell phones, there were cordless ones! (I'm feeling old.)

Does the sun shine on your Command hook?

My favorite Aunt had one of these from the 60's. When my sister's and I divided her Christmas things it went to my youngest sister. She displays it proudly with very precious memories.

I like it just the way it is. I'd probably bind it at the top and add the loop to hang it. Very cute!

Love this. Did you figure out how old it is?

That's a nice looking Santa , very nice

I purchased a similar cut out from Joann's in the early 2000's. My son saw it and fell in love. It measures about 24" in length. We lined it with patriotic snowman fabric which was available the year after 9/11. I can't find it right now. Luckily, my son is 23 and won't miss it! It holds a lot of loot, that's why he loved it so much.
