How To Decorate an Outdoor Christmas Wreath?
Here’s a step-by-step guide to make your undecorated wreath merry and bright.
- Choose Your Theme – Decide on a color scheme or theme. Traditional colors like red, green, and gold are timeless favorites, while silver and blue can evoke a wintry feel. For a creative twist, opt for pink, purple, or teal.
- Select Your Base – Pick a weather-resistant wreath as a lush backdrop for your decorations.
- Add Lights – If your wreath isn’t pre-lit, weave in outdoor-safe LED light strings.
- Pick Your Decorations – Choose shatter-resistant ornaments, wooden figures, and nature-inspired accessories. Tie them to the wreath with floral wire or string.
- Attach Ribbons – Use fabric that can hold up against the elements, like burlap or weatherproof ribbons, to make bows.
- Secure Additional Greenery – If you want more fullness, tuck in sprigs of artificial holly, mistletoe, or pinecones.
How To Hang Exterior Christmas Wreaths
There are several creative ways to hang your outdoor greenery, and here’s how you can do it.
- Door Hangers – Use an over-the-door wreath hanger for a simple, no-fuss installation.
- Ribbons – Hang your wreath with a sturdy ribbon looped over the top of the door and fixed to the inside with a thumbtack or hook.
- Adhesive Hooks – When displaying outdoor wreaths for windows, a transparent adhesive hook can be a great solution.
- Magnetic Hangers – If you have a metal door, a magnetic wreath hanger is a convenient and scratch-free option.
- Nails or Hooks – For a more permanent fixture, use nails or outdoor hooks, taking care to waterproof any punctures in the door.
