Attaching Christmas wreath to powder coated front door

[Jude1234]

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

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.

Not a silly question

We had the same dilemma last weekend 

Our neighbour bought us a lovely Wreath and we thought we can’t just not put it up 

If there’s a way to attach it I couldnt find it ?

Plastic coated door? Suckers!

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

they also do another version without the hook, where there are two halves for the wall and the pic, and the adhesion is like Velcro.

Two drawing pins into the top ( top not face ) of the door and some fishing line between the two as a cradle.

Ooh, then battery powered LED Xmas lights going up the lines. 

Patent pending. ?

The sticky things are not strong enough for mine......Blue Peter badge holder needed

+1 to 3M Command Strips, we use them all the time, much easier than anything else unless it's really heavy. You can get the hooks in clear plastic now I believe.

Hang an equivalent wreath on the inside and attach to the ribbon to counterbalance it

Use TWO command.com strips....

[Jude1234]

Thanks for the ideas.  I work for 3M so get a discount on the command things so will go for them?

And make sure anything you hang will bounce...

Problem solved!

Alternatively ...

Yay it has stayed up for 4 hours now...using a different brand sticky pad and fixing to glass not door, also using lighter weight artificial wreath!  Not quite as I had envisaged but it will do......cant be seen from the street as its behind bloody big wall and gates LOL......now for some flashing lights on said wall LOLOLOLOL

Hilti gun.  Maybe a bit of car body filler needed around New Year.

[lizzie]

and its down again......giving up now!

[newhome]

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!

We are on the top of the ridgeway with fierce winds too. 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.

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?
