Christmas Door Decor 2010

I finally finished my Christmas Door Decor for this year! Usually I go big and bold with green and red poly mesh but this year I have a certain obsession with burlap and decided to doll up my door with that instead. This is how it looks in the light of day.

I took apart last year’s wreath and randomly wired in glittery red ornaments leaving enough room at the top for a big burlap bow. I am in love (until next year when I disassemble and do something different, ahem).
I wasn’t sure the look would hold up at night but I think it looks pretty fabulous in the evening as well. Can I get a woo hoooo!?
In case you are interested in how I pulled this altogether, I cut my burlap into 18 inch strips. It’s easy to cut a straight line with burlap by removing the thread across the fabric where you want to cut. Then use that as your guide! I followed my normal routine for adding mesh to the door using the burlap instead. Then I layered in ribbon and ornaments to finish off the look.
Call me lazy, but I didn’t want to get out my Christmas topiaries. I left them decorated from last year and just didn’t want to mess with taking them apart. So I added a green wreath to the top of my urns, draped the bottom of the lighted garland around the top, and tucked in more shiny red ornaments. It’s not exactly what I had in mind, but it works for me!
I just love how it all came together. I think it is even better in person that it was in my mind.


Do you do the same thing on your door each year or do you mix it up?

    HI… I saw your door pinned on pinterest (from 2008) and LOVED it … and then got to your 2011 one and loved it even more. I live in Houston but grew up in Little Rock and got so HOMESICK when I saw you mention Tipton and Hurst. :)

    I just want to make sure I do this door right … you just bought burlap from the fabric store? How much do I need? I bought some fabulous burlap ribbon but it’s not nearly wide enough to do this. They should make burlap mesh. ;)

    Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using
    for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
