Fitting Your Wreath to a PVC Door

You can hang your holly wreath to a PVC door, or to any other door without making an unwanted hole, using ribbon.

We will fit using this method for £5.00
We can also hang to doors without a letterbox.

Here are listed some other ways of hanging a door wreath, and some details about each method.

1. Door knocker. All wreaths are made to include a length of string for carrying the wreath. The string is left untied, so it can be tied easily to a door knocker. You will lose the use of your door knocker using this method. This is, however, the easiest way to hang a door wreath.
2. Drill a hole to add a hook, or screw in a small hook without using a drill. If you are going to have door hangings all year round, this is a good permanent option if you have a wood door. This option is not available for PVC doors.
3. Stick on hooks. Hooks with adhesive backs. These are not strong enough to hold the weight of a real holly wreath. They may be suitable to hang lighter artificial wreaths, made of light materials and not too heavily decorated. They will just come unstuck if the object being hooked is too heavy. They may also leave a mark on some wooden doors.
4. Over the door hooks. These come in a few different designs, some better than others. A good one that matches your type of door is worth having if you hang a wreath every year. You may need to research the type you need, or just take a risk when you buy.
5. Using the ribbon method, but with other materials you have around, including;

• String. Nylon string will work better than natural string, as the natural type will start to fray with constant opening and closing of the door.
• Wool. a single strand of wool may not be strong enough to hold the weight of a real holly wreath, but may work for lighter artificial wreaths. You could plait the wool to make it stronger, but no thicker than will fir between the door and the door frame.
• Tinsel. Some strong, good quality tinsel lengths may hold a wreath for a short period of time. You can use this festive method with more success if you carefully thread clear fishing line around the centre of the tinsel to strengthen it. This is a good way to trim the inside of your door.
  You can add tinsel to any of the materials using this method afterwards, by winding it around the hanging material.
