Directions
- Start by prepping your Snow Pine with Pine Cone Stems. “Shake hands” with them, and spread the stems apart. This will add some dimension to the stems and create a good base for the rest of your arrangement.
- Overlap your 2 Snow Pine with Pine Cone Stems, one facing each direction, and cable tie them together in three places, creating a swag base for the rest of your picks.
- Add your Peppermint Spiral Curly Spray, bending one of the curls to the other side of your arrangement.
- Add your Eucalyptus Berry Pick, facing the direction of the single peppermint curl, for additional dimension.
- Attach your swag to your metal sign using 2 cable ties, ensuring you leave a gap in the circle to hang your sign.
- Add your box to the center of your swag, and your sign is ready to go!
TIPS AND TRICKS
- If you’d like to use wire instead of cable ties, 18 gauge wire works well!
- This sign is yours! Change up your florals to match your personal style. Change out your ribbons for a different color to completely change the vibe of the sign! The possibilities are endless.
How to Hang a DIY Door Hanger
To hang your DIY door hanger, begin by selecting a sturdy and decorative wreath hanger or ribbon that complements your design. Ensure the chosen hanger is suitable for the weight of your door hanger. If using a wreath hanger, simply place it over the top of your door. For a ribbon, loop it through the top of your door hanger, securing both ends to a sturdy hook or adhesive hook placed on the door. Adjust the height according to your preference, ensuring the door hanger hangs securely. Take a step back, admire your festive creation, and voilà – your Merry and Bright Door Hanger is ready to spread holiday cheer!
