My Door Decoration ('cause retail let me down)



I didn't feel like putting up the table tree this year (it was all buried in the back of storage), and so I decided to just put up a door wreath for some kind of decoration this year.  Went everywhere, couldn't find a single thing I liked (a close call at KMart, but just not quite what I was looking for),.  While I was standing in line at Walmart (yes, I admit, I went to walmart--they had the ribbon I wanted), I was inspired by one of the cardboard hanging things they had suspended from the ceiling . . .a bunch of green and red-ribbon-wrapped presents. 

Went to Michael's, got canvas; paint from Lowe's, some ribbon, stuff . . . a week later viola, my door decoration.  It's funky green--my favorite shade--with sponge dabs of irridescent glitter glue and one of those "word" ornaments I found at the same establishment I mentioned earlier (that I don't like to shop at)!  lol.  Ribbon is stapled onto the canvas frame on the back sides, and the whole thing is hung like a picture via two of those "pull and stick" hook-things.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!
