Christmas Door Basket

I decided to keep my holiday decorations clean and simple.  I usually hang a seasonal wreath on my front door.  This year I wanted to do something different.

My inspiration came from a basket I was using in the laundry room to store clean rags and a quick trip to Home Depot.  As I was leaving the garden center I noticed a large bin filled with Christmas tree trimmings.  I asked and the store associate told me, "that's what they're there for" and to take as many as I wanted.  So I filled up my shopping cart and headed home with a project in mind!

I simply arranged the clippings in the basket along with a few pine cones and berries from a bush in our backyard.  I topped it off with a pretty bow.

It hangs perfectly with an over-the-door wreath hanger.

I love decorating with things you can find in your yard.

The basket is lined with plastic, so I filled it with a little water to keep the greenery looking fresh.

Such a nice way to welcome guests into our home.

Super simple and best of all it didn't cost me a penny!

I also wanted to share my Christmas entryway.

I created a different look for my bouquet with more berries and greenery.

To keep my roses looking beautiful, I just peeled away the wilted petals.

An evergreen scented candle smells like Christmas every time we walk in the door.

I love the cluster of tiny red berries with the white roses.

Such a simple way to add a holiday touch to your home.
