Front Door Decor for the Fourth

Today’s Inspiration
In feng shui the front door is the main portal for energy flow. Step outside your entrance. Imagine water flowing into your house. Does it have to go up stairs? Are there any overgrown bushes impeding the flow? Take a look and see if energy is flowing  easily and smoothly into your home.

Are you ready for the 4th? All decorated, menu planned? What? No?!?

You must be like me then. Let me introduce myself -
“Colleen, wait-for-the-last-minute-and-wing-it, Hostess.”

Let’s just assume I was on top of everything. I’d already have my front door decorated so passer-bys could get the patriotic spirit this week. This is in my “she’s just like Martha – world.”

I am loving this USA door decoration!

How cute is that! I love the moss & the crisp red, white & blue ribbon. And it’s different, you know?

Where did Amber get the letters? She cut them out of cardboard.  . . I know, easy-peasy! Go visit her @ Sew Totally Smitten and see the descriptive tutorial.

How about a Q’nD (quick ‘n dirty) Dollar Store wreath! Amanda @ Every Crafty Endeavor gives step-by-step pictures to make this festive door hanger. It cost her $9 to make this - $9! Anything under $10 is a steal in my book.

Ok. Alison had me at the name of her blog – Make It Work or Do Without. That’s most of us DIYers, isn’t it? I love her tutorial too - “I simply bent a metal hanger in the shape of a star . . .”

Three great projects for anyone, but especially for those of use who are last-minute momma’s. And who’d ever know? Not with these cute ideas.

So what’s on your front door? Link it up to Fab Finds to the Fourth this Thursday!
