Final yr, my cute steel whale that I add on our wreath went lacking, so sadly he wasn’t on my door throughout the earlier Christmas season. I missed him — so many individuals requested the place he was and missed him, too!
However this yr I’m completely satisfied to report he’s again the place he belongs, proper on my entrance door, smiling and greeting everybody who involves our dwelling!
We additionally hung a Christmas banner, lights, and our stars so it feels festive! I’ve determined that banners for over our entrance door are a enjoyable seasonal custom. They’re charming, easy to hold, very easy to retailer (large plus in a smaller dwelling!) and add a way of celebration for every season. I forgot final month to take a photograph of our Give Thanks Thanksgiving banner, and also you’ve seen our Trick or Deal with one! We are going to most likely get one for spring and summer time, too. We don’t need to hold banners up all yr, however we will convey them out for a brand new season, vacation or household celebration.

I just like the bow each methods (you’ll see each variations all through this submit ), however I feel I would hold it tucked in behind him.
Generally it takes a couple of tries or epiphanies to get one thing the way in which you need it. That’s one more reason I’m a fan of adorning slowly, you’ll be able to proceed to regulate and tweak till it feels excellent.
