Tips for creating beautiful fall door decor

September 27, 2009

Share this

Use what you already have to create beautiful door decor arrangements for fall! 

I've put a few together in the past week that all involve items I already had, and variety of filler -- or what I like to call "things you stick in." 

 I already showed you how to make a beautiful fall wreath here: Some of you suggested using a frame for a rectangle shape and that is BRILLIANT! 

My favorite door decor is my go-to for our front door. I love my Southern Living at Home container and use it almost year round -- I love how one piece works for all seasons by just changing out the filler. 

For the fall, I have used the same "stuff" for the past few years, but every year seem to end up adding more to it. It's going to be ginormous in a few years, seriously. The only items I use are my container, faux fall florals and a block of floral foam:
I just pull the whole thing out of the container every year, put it in a baggy and store it away. 

When I put it out, I just pop it back in the container and fluff like mad. Oh yeah, and stick more "things" in:

Sigh. This arrangement is everything I love about this time of year. Those colors just make my heart go pitter pat. And YES, I use fake flowers. 

The next door idea is one I am really loving, and it took me all of ten minutes. I had another container in the basement that I haven't used for years. 

It was too bright white for most of my decor:
So it hit me. I just took more of my walnut stain, and dry brushed it on to highlight the raised areas. 

It kind of smudged onto the other areas, but I ended up loving the look and kept doing it all over:

Gorg!! I stuffed a bit of foam in (just cut it with a knife if it doesn't fit):
I snipped a leaf garland apart into sections and just stuffed them in:
Because, yet again, I can't leave well enough alone, I wrapped some fall ribbon around the hanger:

And got this!:
door bucket with fall floralsShut the front door, I love it. 

This was going to go on the black garage door but I just couldn't bear the thought of her (yes, HER) facing into the dark garage 24/7, not being appreciated. 

 The final arrangement I put together started with another container I had in the basement:

Thanks to my stepmom for the container! :) 

I wanted it not so yellow, so I did a quick coat of brown spray paint:

Then picked up some beady/grassy things:
And the most adorable pom pom looking florals from the craft store:

I separated the grassy stuff into the sections and cut each one off (you'll need wire cutters to do this):

And just stuffed and stuffed (notice a theme here?). 

I found a couple feathery jobbies from Hob Lob and threw those in too:
There is no rhyme or reason to it -- just stuff it (in a nice way)!
easy fall door decor Lovely!!

 
To hang this, I took a cheap metal wreath hook, straightened it out, then hot glued the ribbon over it:
Nothing is safe with me. ;) 

 My finishing touch is to ALWAYS add some felt pads to the back off all my containers, so they don't scratch up the door:

And now, we have something lovely to look at on the way out as well: Do you have something you can use to create an arrangement? Stuff some leaves or pumpkins or floral pics in and you can't go wrong! You don't need to purchase new to make your home warm and cozy this time of year.

Later this week I'll show you our tiny fall front porch -- it makes me smile every time we drive up. :)

    I too have that SLAH container on BOTH my front door and the door from the garage. I love the arrangement you did in it and might have to borrow some of your ideas. I got tired of ours clanging everytime we used the door so I used Command Adhesive strips to keep it in place on the door.

    Beautiful! And OMG - Such good thinking with the felt backing. Anything on my door seems to be hanging by a thread (half the time it probably IS) and therefore, always clatters against the door. I'm definitely going to try this next time!

    Hey Sarah! I LOVE them all and usually not a "Fall" fanatic, but I have been the last couple of years. I am working on collecting decor. I LOVE the wreath and other door decor. Do you have a 'fix' for the metal wreath hanger so it doesn't scratch the door? I recently painted mine so I don't want anymore damage unless I know replacement time is coming soon. Will you please email me? mrwhitecotton@sbcglobal.net. I follow, but don't seem to ever get back to see responses. You may have already answered to someone else, but like I said ... 'free' time is hard to come by for me. I would really appreciate it. ~Mandie

    I did a half cornucopia/horn thingy for my front door thinking it would be thin enough since I have a storm door. Didn't happen ~ the door won't close. I have to find somewhere else to hang it now and I'm thinking by the garage door (which is the one we always use anyway). Just printed out Michaels coupons so I'll be making yet another trip there to get something similar to what you used as a container. Love the way you added ribbon to the holder.

    Gorgeous fall hangings. I have a question. What do you use to hang a wreath on both sides of a door? I have decorations hanging on our front door, service door and garage entry door, but I'd love to have some thing hanging on the inside as well. I've only ever seen one sided metal door hangers. My doors are metal so I can't do the ribbon/thumbtack trick.

    I knew I should have bought that white thingy that I didn't know what it was a coupld of weeks ago at a yard sale. It looked like a large trashcan smashed in. Could have spray painted it and put fall foilage in it. Next time I won't pass a find up. The two men probably would have taken a dollar or less for it.

One, I had the great idea to spray paint the tops of the rubbermaid containers that store our snacks in the kitchen. Oh course I had to do this while I was making dinner. Goodbye strange powder blue tops, hello chic black top covers. Two, I was in in the mart tonight (walmart) and found a decorative curtain rod in the clearence aisle marked down from $22 to $2.50!! Not only was it totally thrifty, but it'll be seeing a nice coat of spray paint come this weekend! Thanks for your tips. Love the blog :)

    Hello~I've just strolled into your blog for my first visit...I've enjoyed taking a peek at your past posts. What beauty! You've got so many wonderful treasures.

    The one thing that can cheer me up as I watch summer come to a close is... the anticipation of fall and all the autumnal colors that come with it and the inspiration it provides for creating decor like your florals. That are a lot less expensive than a florist would charge, but with the same professional look.

    I've bookmarked you in my favs.
    I look forward to coming by your charming blog again.
    Come by for a visit. Your company would be nice.

    I don't have too many things like this running around, mostly cuz the cats will eat them, but very cool ideas. (And, if peeps don't have them running around, wait for those clearance, end-of-season sales.)

    I came over from Kimba's and I really enjoyed your blog. I love decorating as well. You did a great job on the wreath and all the floral containers. They were
    all beautiful.
    Look forward to reading more.
    Blessings, Nellie

    Sarah guess what?! I just got back from garage sailing and I found a FAB wall pocket!!- similar to the last one you posted, but no hanger on it - so I have to figure out how I'll hang it on my door - after I paint it black and fill it with fall goodies!!

    any suggestions how to hang it? it has 2 little hooks on the back to hang on a wall

    Thanks!!

    Squeal! I found that SLAH container at a yard sale this weekend and snapped it up for $5. Now I can be just like Sarah!

    I have a favorite way to hang wreaths on doors. I take a thumb-tack, the metal kind with a flat head, and push it into the top of the door. Then I take fishing line and make a long loop...I loop it around the tack and through whatever kind of hanger is on the wreath. I hang wreaths on my interior doors, and my front door. You can't see the fishing line..and if it can hold a 20# fish (my husband was dreaming) it can hold my nice wreath! The flat-head tacks don't rub when you close the door, they are nice and smooth and not in the way.
