Wreaths and garland strings are classic options to brighten up your front door for the holiday season. If you want to take a bolder, more innovative approach to this year’s wintertime decor, though, there are a variety of fresh and exciting ideas to consider. The following guide offers just a few ways to repurpose building materials and items you probably already have into a creative, spirited façade.

Fun Front Door Ideas for the Season

1. Verdant Star

A glimmering star will always endure as a spirited symbol of the holiday season. Rather than creating a classic O-shaped wreath, consider adding a few extra points to your greenery. Form bits of pine, fir, or spruce into a star by fastening them together with bits of malleable wire; you can also use wood glue or hot glue to attach the pieces to particle board or another building material you may have on hand.

2. Ice Skates

Fill the skates with arrangements of spruce, winterberry, and pinecones, or pair them with a traditional wreath.

3. Spirited Messages

Old building materials like unfinished wood or plyboard can be repurposed to send a warm message to guests. Cut out “joy,” “peace,” or another message of your choosing from the material, paint the letters, and adhere them to your door with help from a fabric banner. You can also save time on this project by picking up wooden or papier-mache letters from your local craft store.
