How to Affix A Christmas Wreath to a Wooden Door

14 Dec
Spread the love
Tweet


Many people appreciate the beauty and festive spirit a Christmas door wreath can bring to their front door. However, one very common question is how to fix it securely without doing damage to the structure of your house. After all, Christmas will soon be over and the decorations packed away.

A MERRY PRAIRIE HOLIDAY

Christmas is a busy time anyway, and some individuals make the costly mistake of taking the easiest and quickest route to affix Christmas wreaths to an external door frame: they drive in nails or large screws with a hammer. This runs the risk of splitting the wood and leaving unsightly damage in its place once the wreath comes down. A far better method is to do a little advance planning and preparation. Get your drill out and make small pilot holes in the door frame – around four is usually sufficient on most standard-sized front doors. Make sure you space them evenly across. Then you will need a few screws to screw a large ceiling hook into each of the holes. This enables you to simply hook the wreath over each hook, which should hold it in place for the festive season. An alternative to the ceiling hook is the screw eye hook, which has a closed loop. If you use this method, it is easy to secure your Christmas wreath by threading a length of wire through each hook, wrapping it around, and tying the wreath in place. It’s worth pointing out that this could be the better option if you live somewhere that is affected by strong winds, as your wreath will be fixed more securely. 

Cheap Christmas Wreaths Don’t Mean Compromising On Quality

Looking for cheap Christmas wreaths to help decorate your home or business more economically this Christmas season? Shopping over the internet has given us huge benefits in terms of choice, but it can also help you compare prices and find the best bargains quickly and easily.

Here are a few handy tips for sourcing your Christmas wreaths at reasonable prices. Any internet search will bring up a huge number of results, many of which will be retailers hoping to add you to their order books. It’s easy just to plump for the first two or three sellers than come up on your screen, but to avoid disappointment, a few small checks will be beneficial. First, establish that the company is based in the same country as where you live. That way, you can reduce the risk of having to pay huge delivery charges and wait for many weeks for your product to reach its end destination. A local seller will also be subject to consumer law in this jurisdiction, providing you with some comeback if things should go wrong.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDES

Secondly, take a look at reviews, both on the website itself and elsewhere on the internet. You want to buy from a company that has won favorable views from its customers, particularly in terms of the quality of the products sold. Cheap does not have to mean tacky. Finally, once you have chosen the Christmas wreath you want to purchase, make sure that the site offers secure payment and that the shipping costs are reasonable.

A little about me…

Hey There! I'm Abby. Some people started calling me "Little Miss Martha" a few years back and this blog followed. I started it to share my DIY wedding progress, but it's now evolved to include other good things. Read More…

I’ll forever miss this little book from the old I’ll forever miss this little book from the old house… I continue to try to figure out where to put this chair in the new one, but I feel it’s true home will be in the basement… even after it’s finished… if that ever happens 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Do you all have a piece of furniture that you just can’t figure out where to go?! First, don’t be afraid to move things around (all. The. Time.). It’s ok!  But second, don’t force it… sometimes it takes time to realize the perfect place for something.

Back at it with the backyard! We finally moved th Back at it with the backyard!  We finally moved the table out of the garage! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 This @oneroomchallenge is fun, fulfilling, and exhausting but I can’t wait to see the final space!  Only 2 weeks left and still so much to do! 

This week we moved the table, created and planted some gardens, made some diy faux cement mushrooms, and put together new Adirondack chairs!  It didn’t feel like much progress until I wrote it all down! 

Check out all the #week6 #oneroomchallenge details on the blog today!  And make sure to catch the ORC highlight to see all we’ve done!

Over the last few weeks, we have been singing “T Over the last few weeks, we have been singing “The Neverending Story” song at our house (thanks Stranger Things) and it’s funny how that song relates to how this project feels like it is going! 🤪 It feels neverending over here!  Not many new big updates for the @oneroomchallenge @apartmenttherapy #oneroomchallenge but once again small strides mean progress in the end! 

While we are still trying to figure out what to do about the color of the table, we added the beginnings of landscape beds and even a new garden bed!  I’ve been to @loweshomeimprovement more than I’d like to admit in the last week 🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

But read about all the updates on the blog today — I’m also gearing up for table staining/painting, garden details, lighting updates, and a couple other {hopefully} quick DIYS!  3 weeks to go!

I remember when the pandemic first started I thoug I remember when the pandemic first started I thought, why not try a garden. We had a really dinky little guy that housed lettuce, cucumber, and some tomatoes that just wouldn’t grow.  And I basically forgot about it midway through the summer 🤣🤦‍♀️

This year we are a little more settled and I am ready to this task once tackle again… We added garden beds to the @oneroomchallenge @apartmenttherapy backyard makeover we are doing and I think they are going to be perfect! 

Do you garden?! What’s your favorite thing to grow?  For me, there’s just something about having your own lettuce for a quick lunch salad!  Yum!!! 

More updates tomorrow!

We are back at it with a week 4️⃣ @oneroomchal We are back at it with a week 4️⃣ @oneroomchallenge update on the blog today!  #linkinmybio This week felt like a lull of not much progress because of the weather but hopefully that’s changing! 

I’m heading out again today to grab landscaping things and florals for planters because I’m pretty sure we are in the clear for no more frosts and freezes! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I went earlier in the week to @menards for the remaining lumber we needed and had to wear a winter coat! I hope we’ve finally crossed into true spring! 

Check out highlights & stories to see previous weeks updates AND a table preview!  @emukel20 has done an amazing job and I think it’s going to be beautiful!  Now to find chairs so we can actually sit at it! 🤣

Do you ever plan something in your head where your Do you ever plan something in your head where your children will be involved and then when it gets down to it you’re the only one doing the project?  Well that was me last night… 

Every Earth Day rolls around and I always want to make seed paper or flower bombs so I finally did it. While I thought it would be a great project to involve the kids on, they were over it by the time I got to it last night. So this exhausted, tired momma rolled these little seed bombs as the sun was setting! 

I’m actually thinking I might make some more and use in my landscaping/garden/flower pots for the @oneroomchallenge! 🌻 I already have plans to pass these out to teachers and neighbors! 

I shared the details on this easy DIY for the birds, bees, and butterflies, along with a cute little printable on the blog #linkinmybio!  How will you celebrate #earthday2022 🌎?

This whole @oneroomchallenge thing really keeps yo This whole @oneroomchallenge thing really keeps you on your toes!  It’s week 3 and we’ve gotten some furniture in and put together and we are making small strides! 

At the moment I’m still #scotchgarding all 10 cushions — I’m about 3 in still… And Mike’s in the garage building me a table (while being distracted building things for himself too🤦‍♀️)! While it doesn’t feel like much, I just keep saying there’s 5 weeks left, you are doing great, but yes, you’ve got a lot to do!

You can read all about every week of the #oneroomchallenge on their blog and follow my progress on my blog too!  Hellomissmartha.com

Oh and after I put all this out last night, of course we had wind gusts of 40mph so swipe to see what I woke up to 🤦‍♀️

Do you have a family calendar? Or prefer to work Do you have a family calendar?  Or prefer to work off an individual planner? Or maybe you are all digital?!! Let’s talk calendars!  This was one of the first purchases I made for this house and I still love it!  The customization is so fun and I love its look! 

It’s my keeper of all things…
-dates
-holidays
-appointments
-lists
-random things I’ll need to know again but don’t want to have to measure for the 5000 time 
-birthday parties
-wine nights
You get the point! 

And it works so well in here… well, that is when I actually update it timely - seeing as I changed/updated this month on April 18th 🤣 So this little space acts as our little family hub!

Can we just talk about how much energy it takes to Can we just talk about how much energy it takes to talk yourself into working out?! Or am I alone in this one?!

One of my goals for the year is to find myself again - mentally and physically!  My@body probably will never be the same as it was a long while ago before kids and adulting… but it’s time to at least try to get to a place where I can come to peace with how I look and how I feel.  We are the givers of everything we have and it definitely takes its toll. Today on the blog I shared 3 steps I’ve been taking to try to make some progress in the self/body confidence area. 

While it feels like it’s going to take forgery, I do see small wins here and there. Like today, I ran for the first time in almost 3 weeks and I didn’t feel completely out of it! 🏃‍♀️🙌🏻 But that said, aside from the steps, I also shared what I currently have in our somewhat chaotic home gym which also leaves so excuses for me anymore!  Swipe to see!

We did it! We officially made it to Friday (Thank We did it!  We officially made it to Friday (Thank God) and the patio is in!  This is one of the bigger purchases I’ve made aside from buying cars and houses… and let me tell you, it was stressful. Something so permanent really messed with my head - the design, the plans, the contractor, the process… it all stressed me out! 

What big purchases have you made that stress you out?! Can you relate?! 

I shared most of the details on the blog #linkinmybio as a part of my week 2 post for the #oneroomchallenge but I’m just glad it’s in and over. And now onto the fun part… decor & furnishings!  Check back for week 3 updates sometime next week!  And I’ll be saving all #ORC posts to a highlight reel for easy access!

This week has been spent thinking of warmer weathe This week has been spent thinking of warmer weather and dreaming of the beach. How did you all spend your spring break?! 

Even though we didn’t go anywhere this time around, I got my beach vibes in from binging Beach Hunters on @hgtv and going through old vacation and styled shoot photos like these... This #winonalake shoot had all the waterfront feels! 

I also finalized most of my plans for the backyard update and submitted my post for week 1 of the @oneroomchallenge!  Swipe for the outdoor decor plan!  Pretty excited to move forward over the next 8 weeks with this project!

It feels really good to get back in a normal groov It feels really good to get back in a normal groove… even if that means that the coughs and sniffles are back too!  One of those back to normal things is the Gnome Away From Home exhibit at @garfieldparkindy #conservatory!  This is an event that we look forward to each year!  Olive has been going her whole life 🤣! 

Have you been to see the gnomes?! You can read more about it on the blog today but it’s a fun thing to do over spring break and it ends this weekend! 

Plus, if the weather is cooperating, explore the children’s garden and sunken gardens too!

As it starts to get cold-ish here again (because i As it starts to get cold-ish here again (because it’s Indiana 🤦‍♀️), I’m dreaming of vacations we should or could take soon!  Our friend Kevin just got this gorgeous #bigbearcalifornia property that he’s calling the @oakandpinechalet and it’s giving me all the vacay feels!  And lucky for everyone, it’s available for vacation rentals through @airbnb when he and his kids aren’t soaking in all the beauty that is Big Bear! 

Would it top my list?! Absolutely!  Look at those views of the lake and mountains and HELLO fireplace!  Oh and take a load off while staying cozy and taking in all views from the recently added @nordicsauna 😍😍😍 

Click here for details on this property:

But since we are now drooling over an amazing AirBNB, what are some top spots on your vacation bucket list?!

Shout out to my two favorite boogers around who al Shout out to my two favorite boogers around who always come along with me to my passion projects because well, they usually have to!  Today they helped clean up, grab florals, and Olive wheeled out the table (on a wagon) all by herself!  They are usually the best helpers I could ask for!  Usually… when they aren’t fighting like the sisters that they are 😆👯‍♀️👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

As a kid I remember tagging along to side jobs and odd jobs with our parents and it’s one of those things my siblings and I still reminisce and remember today. And while I know my parents didn’t love all the jobs they were doing, I do think it showed us what it was to hustle and work hard. 

Hopefully by dragging these girls to my tablescaping and other opportunity events {Ella used to live at the @maevevintage warehouse when we did Vintage Rentals #thegoodoledays } — Maybe they’ll realize when there is something find that they really enjoy, it’s ok to chase that dream… no matter how little or how much time it takes up! 

What’s your passion project?! Do you have one?!

This morning we checked our trap but it was empty. This morning we checked our trap but it was empty. After that we enjoyed gold coin and rainbow donuts which didn’t turn out as pretty as I’d hoped but you know what?! It’s the thought that counts and with the way my oldest woke up, nothing would have satisfied!  Either way, the leprechaun left some small gifts for the girls and was on his way… 

Tonight we’ll be enjoying Irish Stew with friends and maybe some green beer!  What’s on your plate for this beautiful St. Patrick’s Day?
