Learn how to hang Christmas wreaths on exterior windows the easy way, and make your outdoor decor look beautiful this holiday season! After sharing our porch and exterior all decked out for Christmas in previous years, I ended up getting so many questions about how to hang wreaths on outdoor windows!
I feel kind of silly admitting this, but I put off hanging outdoor wreaths for a long time.
Since this is the case, after I show you the method I used, I will also share some other suggestions I received from my friends on Instagram. Grab our free organizing guide, 7 Simple Starting Points! This quick guide gives you 7 simple, practical ways to begin to tackle an overwhelming organizing project.
Step 1- Gather Needed Supplies to Hang Christmas Wreaths 24″ wreaths, one for each window in the front of the house (I snagged mine at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off.
I simply flipped the wreath over and slid the ribbon through the wire until it was doubled over on itself.
So I just flipped open the window, popped out the screen, and arranged the wreath the way I wanted it on the outside.
Once I had arranged the wreath the way I wanted it, I simply popped the screen back into place and closed and latched my window. Even though the wreath felt pretty secure already, I added some extra assurance by knotting the ribbon on the inside of the window.
I didn’t mind the small piece of ribbon showing inside the window. But if you want it to be more discreet, you could choose a ribbon in the same color as your window frame. If you don’t have a window that latches open from the middle, I polled my friends on Instagram to get some more ideas. I will include their alternate methods for hanging outdoor wreaths (and some easy sources) below:
Use outdoor Command Hooks with the sticky backing (as opposed to the velcro ones). Use fishing line at the top and bottom of the wreath to hold it in place.
Tip: Add a little bit of felt to the back of the wreath so it doesn’t scratch the window. I hope this gives you some ideas as you hang Christmas wreaths this holiday season!
You can close the window on the ribbon used to hang your wreath and tie it in a knot.
