How to decide on the best Winter wreath for you
Whether you're crafting your own or buying a wreath for your door, there are a few factors to consider to find the best one for you. One important thing to consider is how you'll hang your wreath - do you have a door knocker, or would you need to put a hook on your door. If it's the latter, you need to think about how heavy your wreath is - if it's lightweight you could use a stick-on removable hook, which would be fine for the paper or more dainty wreaths in our list.
You should also consider the rest of your winter decor - will you be adding more as it gets closer to Christmas?
