Door decorations are a popular way to welcome a new season.Due to the availability of winter- and Christmas-themed supplies, winter door decorations are the most popular of all.You can plan decorations around a central visual look if you decide on a theme ahead of time.You have to plan out how much you want the decoration to be, will you hang a single wreath or decorate the entire door, trim and porch?
Step 1: A Christmas wreath can be hung.
Almost any front door will look good with a wreath on it.Tie a red ribbon or bow around your wreath to make it stand out.During the holidays, local hardware stores should stock winter wreath as well.An over-the-door clip is one of the materials that the wreath should come with.
Step 2: The wreath should be on the door.
The wreath is hung on the door.If you don't want the wreath to block the window or peephole, you can hang it low on the door.The wreath's middle should be the same height as your doorknob.You can hang the wreath by tying a strip of Christmas-themed ribbon around it.
Step 3: Hang one under the other.
You can use this technique to give your door decorations a more modern look.Multiple wreath will grab the eye of visitors and passers-by, and create a larger, more arresting door decoration.You can attach the wreath with strips of ribbon.You can experiment with different lengths of ribbon and see if they are more visually appealing.
Step 4: Your wreath should be decorated.
Adding ornaments or other small miscellany to an undecorated wreath will make it look better on your front door.Colored or silver Christmas ball ornaments are placed in the wreath to give it a metallic sparkle.If you want a more rustic look, consider theming your wreath with candles, real or fake flowers, and pinecones.You may need to use a hot glue gun to attach the ornaments to the wreath.
Step 5: You can make your own type of weeping.
Winter and Christmas wreath can be made from a variety of materials.If you want to make a wreath out of any material, you can buy wreath forms from craft and hobby stores.Attach ball ornaments and silver tinsel to the wreath for a flashy look.You may need to purchase pins to attach materials to a wreath if it is not stiff enough to be stuck directly into the form.All of these materials can be found at a craft-supply store.
Step 6: Poinsettias can be added to your wreath.
Poinsettias are red flowers and are associated with winter and Christmas.Adding flowers to your wreath will add a burst of color that doesn't come from Christmas-specific ornaments or decorations.Poinsettias are available at any plant nursery during the winter, clip off two or three flowers and weave the stems into a wreath.Poinsettias are mildly poisonous to both dogs and cats, so be aware if you have pets.If your animal vomits after eating the flower's leaves, call your vet immediately.
Step 7: You can use evergreen branches.
evergreen branches can be used to liven up your door if you want to decorate without a wreath.If you live in an urban area, you can purchase artificial branches, or if you have access to trees, cut off four or five branches that are three feet in length.Push pins or ribbons can be used to fix the evergreen branches.If you want to give the branches a seasonal look, tie a red ribbon around them.
Step 8: Your door has lettering on it.
You can buy large wooden letters at a craft-supply store.The letters can be painted in green and red for Christmas or in blue and white for winter.Attach the letters with pieces of ribbon.If you want to spell a longer word, consider spelling out a seasonal or holiday-related word.Smaller letters were purchased by "CHRISTMAS," "New Year," or "God BLESS."
Step 9: There are ornaments to decorate with.
Use Christmas ornaments to decorate your door if you want to avoid using a wreath.Hang a few candy canes over push pins in the door or use a ribbon to secure a large Santa doll to the front door.If you want to make it simpler, hang a bow over the window.Hang a stocking or sleigh-bell from the door to complete the look.If you prefer to hang your stockings on the mantle, a craft-supply or holiday themed store will sell other doorknob-specific decorations.To avoidcluttering your door, use a small number of ornaments.You can also make your own decorations, for example homemade ornaments.
Step 10: Natural decorations should be incorporated.
If you want to decorate your front door for winter, but not necessarily have a Christmas-specific decoration, you should focus on natural winter decorations.Options include pinecones, holly, and mistletoe.Hang these items directly over your door using ribbon, or visit a craft store and look for ways to incorporate multiple natural items into a single cornucopia-like door decoration.Consider spraying gold paint on the pinecones.Natural winter decorations can be used for about five months of the year.If you don't celebrate Christmas, you may want to decorate your door in the winter.
Step 11: There are garlands or tinsel.
Hanging seasonal garlands or tinsel around the door frame is a great way to expand door decorations.You can drape tinsel around the entryway or porch of your home.Push-pins can be used to hang the garlands or tinsel to avoid holes in the woodwork.
Step 12: There are wintery things around the door frame.
Make the most of your space by decorating not only the door frame, but also the area next to it with larger items that will be easy to see.There is a large nativity scene next to the door.You can stack logs beside your door if you prefer a more woodsy look.Make sure that your decorations around the doorframe are consistent with the theme if you have chosen a decorative one.
Step 13: White spray paint can be used to create a faux-snow look.
If you live in an area that doesn't get a lot of snow during the winter, but still want your seasonal decorations to look wintery, consider spraying items with a white or silver spray paint.White will make your decorations look wintery.The sprays look like thick snow.You can spray fake snow on your wreath or other decorations if you prefer a textured look.Do not spray towards your face or inhale the fumes from the spray.Never near an open flame, and spray in aventilated area.
