Simple Holiday porch decor idea

The cheapest porch or patio decor idea. Use nature gifts to make wonderful Christmas swag!

To make this rustic Christmas swag, you will need : pine cones, some kind of greenery ( for example: cupressus, larger clippings from Christmas tree; you can use fake ones as well), eye hooks (4 to 6), thin thread, needle, red ribbon, scissors, wooden/ straw ornaments (optional).

Instructions:

Tie greenery pieces into a bundle using a ribbon. Use needle and thread to fasten pine cones to a greenery. Pierce the middle of the pine cone and drag thread through (see last picture), then fasten pine cone to the twigs. If your pine cones are hard, you can use eye hooks instead of the needle; pierce base of the pine cone when using eye hooks). You can add some rustic ornaments (like straw stars or wooden figurines), if you fancy it.

Hanging a wreath or swag on the front door:

If you would like to hang your swag on the door: you can go classic and use another piece of ribbon and eye hook; you can buy over the door wreath hanger, or (if you have metal or vinyl door) you can use command adhesive hooks and/or strips.
