Decorating the entrance to your house for Christmas: 6 uniquely suggestive DIY ideas

From classic door wreaths that never go out of fashion to old sleighs, from wooden logs transformed into Santa Claus to tin buckets with pine cones and other decorative elements, here are the most beautiful ideas to draw inspiration from.

Door wreath

Let’s start with the great classics such as the wreath for the front door. No matter what anyone says, it continues to be a must-have for the Christmas holidays and the great thing is that it can be made with both natural materials and recycled elements.

Decorative skis

Recover an old pair of skis, if you think it appropriate, paint them white and embellish them with some decorations: fir twigs, Christmas baubles, a bell. Place them next to the entrance.

Santa Claus with wooden log

Wooden logs are often reused to create original Christmas decorations: with a log, for example, you can create a really cute DIY Santa Claus.

You need to saw the log obliquely and paint it with water-based enamel suitable for wood. Don’t forget to add a Santa belt! You can place the log next to the entrance.

Baskets with pine cones

If you have baskets, fill them with pine cones, berries and other decorative elements and place them in front of the entrance along with some beautiful lanterns.

Christmas tin pails

Let’s not forget the tin buckets: if you have some, it’s time to fill them with pine cones, balls, pine or fir twigs, and place them next to the entrance, perhaps on a table or on a ladder.

Or place them on wooden fruit boxes.

Old sled

You don’t need to own such an old-fashioned model, even a simple wooden sled is enough to enhance the entrance: the important thing is to decorate it in a Christmas way. How to do it? You can position it vertically and embellish it with pine cones, balls, twigs and some lights.
