Ok! Get Ready For Your Christmas Door Decoration...

When you think about your Christmas door decoration, why not find something that is a little more unusual?

Before you start using all the fun Christmas decoration ideas and tips to making your home beautiful for the holiday season, you may worry about not having the time, money or resources to do a lot of holiday outdoor decorating.

There is some good news.

You really don't need much more than a good Christmas door decoration to create a bold holiday statement.

Yes, you can create a whole holiday secene right on the door for a unique approach!

If you want to know why I'm saying that, here is an example...

This is how we light up a large snowman

Many of the ideas listed here are traditional and others are commonly seen at school.

The traditional Xmas door decorations include the mini trees and the wreath. Just about everyone has seen an entrance wrapped with paper as well.

Christmas Wreath

One of the classic ways to bring focus to your door is to use a wreath.

This simple item is traditional and classy. You can use this Christmas door decoration with a spotlight on the area for bigger impact. For many homes this is plenty to communicate holiday cheer in a classy, understated fashion.

If you're the type of who want a little more WOW factor in your Christmas door decoration, use wrapping paper!

I love the look of a front door covered in metallic red, green or even silver and gold paper. Add a big bow and you have yourself a knock-out Christmas decoration idea that costs next to nothing.

Christmas Characters

Another idea for this most important space is to create a big snowman out of cardboard. This is a wonderful Christmas door decoration for anyone who is expecting children to visit during the holidays.

Santa is a great option too! And use materials to give this character dimension as well.

You can make Santa's beard by pulled cotton balls. Also use this material on the cuffs of his coat and pants as well. Red felt is a wonderful choice for his clothes and black felt will make wonderful boots for this Christmas door decoration.

Greeting Cards

You can create a Christmas door decoration that turns part of your front entrance into a huge greeting card. You can find many oversized holiday cards at a craft store.

A good idea is to put a sign that says, "Please Sign" in bold, red letters right above the oversized holiday card.

This Christmas decoration idea serves two purposes. The design on the front of the oversized holiday card will serve as a great visual interest while the inside of the card will be a treasured keepsake reminding you of all of the special visitors you had over the season.

Interesting Items

If you want to try something unusual with the space, adding interest to the space is very important.

This can be done by creating some expectation as well. Maybe try adding some lights and that lead up to the entrance. Putting short evergreens on either side of the entrance will also make a great Holiday door decoration.
