Fall Wreaths

My "wreaths," for a variety of reasons, aren't wreaths in the traditional sense...they aren't "firm," if you know what I mean.  They are made from garlands, which has worked great for me.

Our storm door doesn't allow enough clearance for a traditional ("firm") wreath, so I've used a beautiful garland that is less bulky instead.  Another bonus is that the garlands out there allow for endless possibilities for already-decorated "wreaths"!

I added the mesh ribbon for additional decoration and to hang it.

I also needed something next to the door, to add additional interest, but again, a traditional wreath wouldn't work, so I created one of sorts with another garland around the ligth fixture.  It's worked well, because I can shape it to create a loose effect rather than the structured circle.

This "wreath" looks very pretty at night when the light is on...the leaves seem to glow, so they add interest
in the daytime and night too.

In the backyard, I created another "wreath" to lay across our old hand plow, and added a pretty sunflower/berry "pick.  Easy as pie!
(Well, easier than pie; pies aren't easy for me. :)  )

What decorating solutions have you come up with when you're dealing with storm doors?
