How cheap do you want to go? Wilkinsons usually have some nice ones in.

We got one from a pound shop that wasn't bad!

Could you make one? I find barbed wire holds everything together nicely.....

Something entirely made of holly would be a good substitute for the barbed wire. Make sure it is attached securely so that it can't just be flipped off the door. Markets often have holly ones in December.

Holly....hadn't thought of that....wonder where I could get holly round here.

Other than that, probably poundland cheap.

No idea how to better attach it to the door ....will pop my thinking cap on

Yes would probably look more festive girly

I did make my own a couple of years ago, I'm completely cack handed and it looked ok. Holly mustn't be from wild - its protected. If you don't know anyone with it growing in their garden, spruce works well. I added pine cones, dried orange slices etc, it looked nice. Do wear thick garden gloves though, ripped my hands to shreds! I bought some florists wire from a nice florist near me, for 20p, with some pretty bits to add in as well.

You can often find holly growing wild in hedgerows/woods. Florists sometimes sell it, and often already made into wreaths as they sell them for cemetery/garden of remembrance memorials at Christmas. Our local market sells them for around 4-5 quid. It perhaps sounds a bit morbid, but the unspoken message to the neighbours would be 'mess with my wreath and you're dead!'
