I enjoy making Christmas decorations out of natural materials. In America, door decorations for the holidays date back to the 1800s. Making a door swag, evergreen garland or wreath adds a welcoming touch to your front door for the holidays. I've worked as a floral designer and I like passing along tips on creating decor made out of natural materials. This is part of my green Christmas series. The emphasis is on spending time with loved ones or creating decorations and gifts at home instead of having a hectic holiday season doing more shopping than you need to.
The gifts of nature symbolize renewal and the coming spring. Foliage from your yard, herbs, tree trimmings, Christmas ornaments you already have, and reusable materials including fabric and wire create simple or elaborate door decorations. These are projects everyone can do.
Includes materials and tools you need, types of door decorations, ideas for making door decor and step-by-step Christmas door swag -- plus pictures of wreaths and swags for inspiration.
