Quick! Christmas Could Be Ruined!

[bunchoffives]

I want to put up a wreath on my front door or the whole family's Christmas will be ruined obviously

It's a brand new wooden door and I don't want to put a screw into it and introduce a place where it could start to rot. What to do?

How does everyone else fix their wreaths to their front doors? Is there some secret art of wreath fixery that I have missed?

An overdoor hook or a sucker? I'm sure lakeland specialise in this kind of seasonal dilemma.

I put a drawing pin in the top of the door (ie open the door and on the top edge out a drawing pin in) then use twine or thread to hang wreath.

Command strips - get a heavy duty one. solutions.3m.co.uk/wps/portal/3M/en_GB/CommandMobileEU/Home/?MDR=true
Or twine over the top and tied to the bolts of the letter box

I knew mn would have this sussed.

Thanks all.

I think I'll try the command strips. I can use them to finally put up my smoke alarm too

Command strips are awesome. They also sell small plastic hooks with the command strip backing that is probably ideal for this.

I use an over- door hook for mine

We've had a nail in our wooden door for eons and no rot! Admittedly it is protected by a porch type thing (open) but it would never have occurred to me for this to be a problem. Don't you have another big hole in your door (letterbox?)

They do wreath hooks with command strip stuff on the back. That's what's holding my wreath up.

Rot? Why would you get rot from a nail hole in a door? I've had one for 20 years on my front door where I hang the wreath. No rot!

I use a command strip hook and it was a newly painted door, no damage at all, just follow the instructions.

I hang mine off the knocker, using an unfolded paperclip as a hook.

I have a nail on the inside of my front door, I hang the ribbon on the hook over the top of the door. Ours was here when we got here and works well.
Back door (which everyone comes through) has a cast iron hook in the wall that's been there 174 yrs and is perfect for a wreath - although I doubt that was it's original purpose.

If its hardwood it wont rot.
Soft wood might.
