Create a Large-Scale Garland for Your Front Door
Draping garland over your front door to dress it up for the holidays is not a revolutionary idea, but by looking to your home’s architecture, you can get ideas on elevating it into something extraordinary. Learn how to create a large-scale garland for your front door in this HGTV video:
A house such as a two-story colonial has a lot of presence. Using oversized decorations ensures that everything is balanced.
Giant glittery pine cones are the main feature of this garland; huge pine cones can be ordered in bulk online. Spray the pine cones lightly with glue and sprinkle with glitter.
Measure the door frame so that you’ll know how much garland you’ll need. Lay out the greenery in the three rows that will hang around your door. As the pine cones will make a big impact, consider going a little heavier than usual with the greenery.
Wire it all together.
Tap nails into the doorframe and hang the garland. Adding lights will make the pine cones shimmer and sparkle at night. Using floral wire, attach the pine cones through the garland, scattering them randomly. As a final touch, add jute ribbon for texture and color.
