Post-Christmas Door Decorating

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I got a new door a little over a year ago. (See the before and after HERE.) I've been trying to change the wreath with the seasons and holidays (See my summer wreath, my daughter's birthday wreath, and my Dollar Tree Halloween wreath), and for 2013 my goal is to change the wreath/door decoration every month! (Am I crazy?)

Well, the Christmas decorations are down, and now it's time to create a wreath for January. I needed some inspiration, and I need it to be frugal (New Year's resolution!) In case some of you are like me and are copycat DIYers need to see what others are doing to get some inspiration, I'm sharing 7 ideas with you today. 





Although we don't get much snow in Alabama, I still want a wreath that reflects the c-o-o-o-o-l-d temperatures! (Lots of white and silver!)



1. Love the shiny leaves and paper money medallions. 



2. I bought some acorn ornaments on clearance at Wal-Mart after Christmas. This may inspire my new wreath!



3. Pinecones: free. Ribbon from stash: free. New Year's resolution met: Priceless.



4. This one is from a terrific Pinterest page I now follow. 
The blog it links to is now defunct, but I think I can follow their vision. :)



5. This one is a fun mix of textures.





6. This one is for sale on Etsy, but it could be copied pretty easily (if you've got time and a ton of pinecones!)




7. For this one, I would swap out the blue ornaments for maybe more pinecones or red cardinals. Maybe a burlap ribbon, too.


I'm thankful to all these creative people for their inspiration. These all seemed pretty easy as well as frugal... check back on Monday to see what I made!

I love the feather-y one. Very cool! I have pinecones on my door hanging from ribbons. I saw it a few years ago in Country Living magazine. It is easy to make and I love that it is winter-y without being Christmas-y.

I may go that route, too, Jennifer. I like the rustic look, and I have plenty of free pinecones in my yard! :)

Great inspiration. I always struggle with what to put on my doors in that dead season between the holidays and spring.

Thanks, Ann. I struggle, too. This year I am determined to do a new wreath each month, though. Stay tuned!
