Front Door Decorating with Letters

I have been changing my front door decor out on a monthly basis it seems. I wanted something that would coordinate with my window boxes and hanging baskets and so this is what I came up with.


I used a combination of sheet moss and a loose moss found in the bags. The loose was to cover some of the cut lines with a bit more added for visual balance.

I could not find coral grosgrain ribbon to save my life, and I had to have coral, so I twisted jute twine with coral cotton hemp string to hang my letter "K". Then I took the same coral string and hand wrapped a branch. For added dimension I made some simple felt flowers out of some summer bright shades.

I hope to share a few more front porch projects. So come back and sit a spell.

I couldn't stop there of course, I was on a letter kick. My neighbor friend graciously remembers my birthday every year with a sweet gift and I try my best to reciprocate. However, last year I failed. I had visions of grandeur and I was going to make something that had to do with "coral" because her name is Coralyn. (love her name!) Time came and went and the busyness of life took over so this year I was on it and I made this for her door.


I didn't use coral colors but the yarn color is called beach. When I saw that I knew this was the right shade and it works really well with the color of their home. She loves daisies so I added that to make it a bit more feminine. Voila a great gift for a great neighbor!

Thanks for visiting!
