Wreath Hanging Hack

Typically, we rely on everything from metal wreath holders to staples, nails and even thumbtacks to affix holiday wreaths to our front doors. Here are 12 DIY Christmas wreath ideas that are easy and festive. Problem is, all of these familiar hanging methods leave marks and scars.

Skip those old methods and try a less damaging tactic — removable plastic hooks. Place an upside-down Command hook on the interior side of your door, loop your wreath’s ribbon or some fishing line around the hook and drape it over the front of the door. You can also use a wreath hanger for an easier way to hang your wreath. Plus, check out these outrageous outdoor holiday decorations and get in the holiday spirit.

Easy-Clip Tree Ornaments

The wire hooks that come with Christmas tree ornaments can be hard to use and may scratch the ornaments. Instead of wire hangers, use plastic-coated paper clips to hang your ornaments. The paper clips are stronger and easy to use. Best of all, they won’t scratch, so you can leave them attached when you pack the ornaments away at the end of each season.
