Front Door Snowman

Here at the Little Red House one thing works in my favor - the house is RED!  Which helps out with Christmas decorating!

I seem to have a bit of the Christmas bug early this year - not sure why that is but none the less I am up at it with the decorating.

Front Door:


 I saw this on Pinterest and knew I HAD to do it!

I used a 12", 18" & 24" wreath sizes to create this.  I also did not have a perfect 'old black hat' laying around so I used weatherproofed black craft foam!  I stapled on the ribbon and berries.  The scarf is fleece from Joanns.


I think it came together rather nice!  Of course it may look better on a 'WHITE' door as it seems to blend in with my black but I love it.  I may keep looking for spray on snow for the wreath to highlight it more.  But all I can find for now is brush on flocking.  However, I do think it needs something to brighten it up a bit.

Fun and Festive!!

    He looks so fun! I love how festive and different it is. Could you pot some pretty wrapping paper on the inside of the glass to brighten it up a bit?
