Jude1234 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Rather a silly question but we are putting up our Christmas decorations on our new house and wondered how we could attach our wreath to our front door. Previously we have hung it on a metal rod that hooked over the top but the new door is too thick for this. AS this is a temporaray fixture do not want anything that will mark the door. Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 If it’s fairly smooth then you can use something like the 3M command strip hooks as they don’t mark when you remove them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Plastic coated door? Suckers!

Hecateh Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Suction hook near top, inside of door with ribbon loop going over to where you want the wreath and a little 's' hook or more ribbon for the wreath itself. Less likely to fall off if hook on inside 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Two drawing pins into the top ( top not face ) of the door and some fishing line between the two as a cradle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the hooks in clear plastic now I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhome Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hang an equivalent wreath on the inside and attach to the ribbon to counterbalance it 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newhome Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Stick it outside the main gate somewhere. At least it’s visible there. I don’t put decs up (bah humbug lol) but anything like that would be whipped away by the wind in seconds. I’m still lamenting that I bought a couple of tall planters. I seem to spend more time standing them up again than they spend standing upright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldnt last 5 minutes out on gate...... and might encourage visitors and we are feeling like hibernating this year. It was a close call on decorations here.

Onoff Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Can't you CT1 a wreath to a spare bit of glass and just "get a man in" every year to swap the panels over? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
