December is here and it’s not just the halls you want to deck… that front door could use a little holiday spirit, too!
But wait, before you get out the power tools or pick up a hammer, consider some alternative methods for displaying your holiday cheer. Here are four tips on how to hang your holiday decorations without damaging your front door:
Use Fishing Line for Hanging
Got an extra roll of fishing line lurking in the garage? Put it to work for your wreath! Loop fishing line through the wreath, then create two additional loops and place them through your wreath. Place one of these two loops over each top corner of the door, and, voila—your wreath appears to be floating on your door with no damage to be found.
Removable Self-Adhesive Hooks
These are ideal for displaying holiday decor both indoors and out. Command Hooks are specially designed to hold items without damaging surfaces when properly applied.
Magnetic Wreath Hanger
If your door is made of glass or metal, you can use a magnetic wreath hanger. As with products like Command Hooks, you’ll want to make certain that the type you choose is sufficient for the weight of your decor. How does a magnet work on glass? These magnets are double sided and one half goes on each side of the glass sandwiching it between. Because it has to hold the wreath through a layer of glass, you will probably be better off selecting a lighter-weight wreath.
Over-the-Door-Wreath Hanger
Last but not least: The classic, over-the-door wreath hanger. These work very similarly to the over-the-door clothes hangers you can hang clothes on, but they’re much longer for better placement of your wreath. One little secret to keep it from scratching your door with any swinging motion is to attach a piece of felt to the back of the hanger where it touches the door. Couldn’t be easier!
