12 Months Of DIY Front Door Decor Ideas

Looking for an easy way to decorate your front door?

Here is a collection of twelve wreaths, signs and unique front decor ideas to dress your home for every season and add curb appeal.

There's one for every month of the year.


 One of the first decorating subjects I tackled when I started writing, was the importance of putting something on your front door.

Way back when, I wrote a piece called Your House is Frowning and it chronicled all the reasons why I believed that a naked front door did not make a great first impression.

Of course, now it's January and there is a still an evergreen wreath on my own front door.

Hmmm.

Trust me, I get it.

It's hard to come up with something fresh for every month of the year, plus it can get very expensive...and I don't do expensive.

Twelve Months Of Front Door Decor

So over the years, I've created cheap and easy alternatives to buying those pricey wreaths in the store. 

I figured I would recap some of them here today, in one place, making it a handy reference for the months to come.

Let's start with the winter months.

January Door Decorations

My dollar store snowflake wreath is the number one most popular wreath on my site.

It was whipped up in no time and continues to dazzle after all these years. It's a perfect way to lift those winter blues.

Plus it's an easy DIY and cheap.

February Door Decorations

Coming in at a very, very close second place is my classic red hydrangea wreath.

It's looks great on Valentine's Day, but it's a staple in my home all year long.


There's something about its simplicity that makes it so outstanding and believe it or not, it's a ridiculously easy DIY.

I promise.

Oh and by the way, you could make it in any color you wish...although why you would choose another color is beyond me. 😉

Of course, when it comes to the month of love, more is always more. My Valentine triple wreath boasts three times as many flowers.

But it's definitely not three times the work or price.

Moving onto spring decor...

March Door Decorations

I welcome spring with my tulips in a rain boot "wreath". It happily hangs on my front door and that little boot just makes me smile, no matter the weather.

It's another easy DIY and you can find the boots at thrift stores...or perhaps in your closet.

Mine belonged to my own little ones, which makes this craft even more special.

April Door Decorations

April is all about bunnies.

So I grabbed a gift bag at the dollar store and made this unique welcome sign. Hot glue and a bag and you're set to welcome Peter Cottontail.


My newest Bunny Tile Spring Wreath is just as darling.


So darling in fact, that he may have been on my front door long after Easter came and went.

May Door Decorations

In May I like to bring on the flowers. So when I spotted this flag at the grocery store, I knew it would look great on my door.


It took a little bit of creativity to get it to hang flat and straight, but once I figured it out, my garden flag door hanger quickly became a colorful and flat favorite.

And it fit perfectly between my front and storm door without getting squished by the glass.

Of course, if your looking for something with a more colors and dimension, you might prefer my Dollar Tree daisy wreath in bright yellow.

Or baby pink or lilac. Whatever spring colors speak to you. There are so many variations, but all of them are quick, easy and inexpensive.

Summer is full of dramatic tones...

June Door Decorations

By the time June rolls around I'm ready to welcome summer with something bold.

This wreath was a disaster when I purchased it. It was super cheap, but it looked it.

A little embellishment and this blooming floral wreath became a real head turner for under ten bucks. Fabulous.

Looking for even more drama on your summer front door? How about a wreath with trailing flowers.


It was another way to embellish a store bought wreath and get more bang for your June buck.

July Door Decorations

July is all about the red, white and blue around here. To honor the holiday, I made a very simple patriotic ribbon wreath.


You'll notice that I use a lot of wire wreath frames and this project starts out no different. Just wrap and add a bow. Really.

August Door Decorations

In August, I added letters to my simple floral wreath, to take it up a notch.

Sometimes an unexpected element can make all the difference, like it did on this wreath that had just about seen its day, before a little glitter gave it new life. 

Finally it's fall...

September Door Decorations

Ah, September. Summer isn't really over yet, but the colors begin to fade, so I added some of my own to the front stoop with another garden flag.

This one hung on an old wooden hanger.


Easy, inexpensive and definitely smile inducing.

October Door Decorations

In October, I thought way outside the decorating box and painted an old ceiling fan blade like a ghost and hung it up.

Another very easy DIY and since the blade was free, it didn't cost me a thing.

I've painted the blades for other holidays, too, they are very versatile, but his little guy makes me smile when Halloween rolls around.


Of course if you'd prefer a traditional wreath, my simple boxwood one might be more your style.

November Door Decorations

In November, I hang a Give Thanks banner on my living room wreath and boom it's transformed into fabulous front door decor.


It's probably the easiest DIY wreath on my list.

That brings us to the most out of the box wreath I've ever made. It's a fall splatter screen wreath.


Talk about a crafty upcycle. This one isn't as complicated as it looks and it certainly gets points for its fun factor.

December Door Decorations

By the time December rolls around, I'm ready for something that really pops.

So instead of adding one wreath, I add three!

My rustic Christmas triple wreath is a classic that anyone can make and I'd be willing to bet that you have most of the supplies already on hand.

Last on the list is another flat piece of door decor. It's another gift bag sign!


Display it inside, outside or behind a glass storm door.

It's one of my favorites and since gift bags come in all different patterns, it fits any style.

And there you go, twelve months of easy DIY front door decorations ideas.

Which one is your favorite?


Happy Decorating, Friends!
