Christmas Countdown Door Hanging

Hello my friends and happy December 3rd!

About seven years ago, my friend Sarah Beth showed me how to make a poinsettia door hanging that I have been proudly displaying ever since.

I like that it’s not a wreath,  which is my go to door decor for every other season and holiday.  This year, I decided to update my door hanging using black and white ribbon, a white poinsettia, and feathers.

DIY Christmas Countdown Door Hanging

Here is what I used:

A white poinsettia

Feathers

B&W Hounds tooth and a trellis print ribbons (wide, wire edged ribbon works best)

The jingle bells off of my original door hanging

Wire cutters and florist wire

How to assemble:

Step one: Gather your two ribbons and start creating large loops, pinching in the middle to hold together.

Create three loops on each side of the pinched center.

Tip:  Hold up the poinsettia to check size and placement before securing with wire and cutting ribbon from spools.

 Step Two:  Secure the ribbon with florist wire and leave about 18 inches of ribbon to tie bells to.

Step Three:  Attach your ribbon tails (you can add additional ones), flower stem, and feather stems with wire.

Step Four: Tie the bells to the end of your ribbon tails and pull apart the ribbon loops.

I had picked up a cute little chalkboard sign when I was in WA a couple of weeks ago and  was about to write Merry Christmas on it when my clever husband said, “hey, why don’t you write down 23 days to Christmas?”  Awesome.  I knew I married him for the right reasons and now I have a Christmas Countdown door hanging. Even better.

Here’s how she turned out!

Come back tomorrow for some more CHRISTMAS decor ideas!!  What have you been doing this holiday season?
