I guess I'm boring, but I have 3 wreaths. Two of them are made of twig, one with spring-y flowers and one with fall-ish flowers. My other wreath is gold painted eucalyptus with red berries and a red and gold plaid bow (for Christmas, of course) I've had that one for YEARS. I've actually been wanting to replace it.
Years ago, when I was craftier, I used to make my own wreaths. But I found that after just 2 years of being in the direct sun, the fake flowers would just snap off & the hot glue would fail. My wreaths have hit the trash one by one. I haven't hung anything yet this year. I have mini-garden flags I change monthly.
How do you keep your wreaths from falling apart due to the sun?
Maybe I should just hang my mini-garden flags on a dowel on the door?
Sounds like I need to visit some craft shows. I never find anything I like in the discount stores.
We have a covered porch...no sun. This is probably how they last so well!
I need new ideas. What do you have decorating your front door?
Year round, weatherproof & thin enough to fit between storm door would be good.
Ummmm....what do I have decorating my front door...lemme think about it....PAINT! White, semi-gloss exterior latex paint. It's there all year round, it's weatherproof, and fits between the storm door (or, it would, if we had one). Go get yourself some paint (or maybe some stain if your door is made of wood)...you will love it!!!
I'm just teasing. I saw all the posts with decorations and realized what a boring front door I have...so I tried to liven it up. On with your thread...
I mentioned putting the garden flags on the door tonight, and DH told me he wants one of those metal stars everyone has. I didn't realize he even cared. But since I know his love of the American flag, I guess a star would be perfect.
It can be my Blue Star Banner (service flag) for while he's gone, without actually advertising such a banner & telling everyone "Hi, I'm home alone for a year".
