20 Creative Alternatives to a Front Door Wreath for Fall & Winter
Hey everyone! I know it’s still early but once the cold weather hits, I’m just ready to decorate for the Holidays! I started thinking about decorating the front porch and I’d like to do something different this year. You know, think out side the wreath 🙂 So today I am sharing 20 alternatives to a wreath for your front door for Fall and Winter. Let’s get creative, shall we??

1. Frames
Make something unique with an inexpensive or even a thrift store frame. I love the chicken wire.
Add some burlap and greens along with some jingle bells.
Spray paint an old frame and simply hang some ribbon and ornaments.
2. Make one with Twigs
Use what you have out in your yard, break out your hot glue gun and make something unique for your home. I love these!
3. Wooden Tags
How cute are these? You can pick these raw wooden tags up at Micheal’s and decorate them how you wish. You can hang them with rope or twine or ribbon.
4. Wooden plaques
This started out as a simple unfinished wooden disk.
I like how they attached these together with the ribbon.
5. Wooden Signs
The sky is the limit with these. You just need some stencils and embellishments.
6. Wooden Slice
I made one of these a couple of years ago. You can see it HERE. Really easy and you don’t even need to cut one yourself. You can find them at Michael’s or on Amazon is different sizes.

7. Silver Trays
Thrift stores are great for finding old trays to use for these projects. Use with or without chalkboard paint and combine faux flowers to make something for each season.
Here they have part of the tea set with greens and ribbon. How original!
Tip: place small pads that go on the bottom of chair legs on the back to prevent it from banging against the door.
Combine the tray with grapevine, burlap and faux flowers for a pretty farmhouse look.
8. Burlap Bags
So cute. You can do these smaller ones or how about one big one?
How about a big one for Christmas with greens?
9. Shutters
So pretty and festive!

I love these bells! You may just see these at my house if I can find them. 🙂

11. Ice Skates
12. Mittens
How about a combination of wood and mittens…
13. Rakes
14. Baskets
I tried one of these in the spring and loved it and then used it again in the fall by changing up the colors. You can see those HERE and HERE.
So pretty…
I love the mini skates. 🙂
15. Mirrors
This is one of my favorites.
16. Pine Cone Swags
These look super easy. You can use ribbon, burlap or twine to hang them. Hang them by themselves or with greens or ornaments.
17. Grapevine
So pretty!
18. Letters
19. Tins
20. Wooden Boxes
Pin it for later!
I love all of these ideas! I’m definitely inspired to do something different this year. I hope you are too. If you have decorated with something other than a wreath in the past or plan on using something unique for your front door this year, I would love to see it!
Make it your own!

Awsome ideas!
Dear Theresa – I LOVE your beautiful designs! I have a problem with wreaths quickly becoming destroyed by high sun exposure on my front door. What can I do? Summer is coming and I’ve already lost 2 wreaths last year (we built this house and have only had 1 summer here).
Thank you so much for your help –

Love your projects – I have to ask though – how do you hang them on a glass door? I have been searching high and low for something that will hold burlap wreaths on the glass of my front doors. Can you advise?
Hi Susan! You should be able to hang it on a command strip right on the glass or I’ve seen a few people use a command strip (upside down so the hook is facing the floor) on the other side of the door on the wooden part and then hang a ribbon, twine etc over the top of the door and hook it under the command strip hook. 🙂
Hi,
Also, you can buy a set of strong magnetic hooks. I put one on outside on glass and the second one on inside right opposite the outside one. They support each other and can hold a very heavy wreath very well.
PS have to have hubby help since my arms aren’t long enough to reach both sides at once.
Collen there are so many great ideas here, and so much to choose from. Now you’ve inspired me to make another wreath, as if I don’t have enough! 😉
Thanks, Mary! One more wreath will be ok. 🙂

Thank you, Manisha and welcome to blogging! I will definitely stop by and say hi!
I have been meaning to make one with my childhood ice skates for years and keep forgetting! Thank you for the reminder! I’ll finally get it done this year!
I love the rustic frames and the shutter! I have made a wreath with dried flowers for my door before and loved it, you’ve given me inspiration to do it again.
The rustic ones are my favorite as well and the one with the skates. I love decorating with pieces that are a bit out of the ordinary. 🙂
