1. Hang your wreath with a ribbon
Cut a healthy length of ribbon (about 60inches) and loop is around the wreath so that at one end there are two open ends. Tie these ends in a knot or bow. Next, place a self-adhesive hook on the inside of your door, upside down. Finally, with your door open, hang the wreath over the door, hooking your ribbon loop around the upside down hook on the inside of the door... Voila!
2. Hang your wreath with a nail and string
Take an electric screw gun and drill a nail into your door carefully to avoid causing splits and cracks to your door. Make sure your nail is long enough to support your wreath and position it at the top of your door. Then, take a piece of string, loop it through the wreath, tie it in in a knot. Hang your string held wreath on the nail and Bob's your uncle!
3. Hang a wreath with a self-adhesive hook
