How To Adorn Inside Windows With Wreaths?

To hang wreaths on windows, choose the right method such as ribbon, fishing line, suction cups, or command hooks. Size matters: Select a wreath proportionate to your window size.

In this step-by-step tutorial, architectural designer Elyse McCurdy explains how to hang wreaths on windows without damaging your window or trim. By understanding the basics of hanging wreaths on windows, selecting the right wreath size and design, choosing the appropriate location, and following the necessary steps for installation, you can create a beautiful seasonal touch that boosts your home’s curb appeal.

To hang wreaths on inside windows for the holidays, place a cup hook at the top of the window sill, determine the desired length, and double the ribbon length so it can loop. Option 1: Hang with a removable hook, ensuring the area where the hanger will stick is clean and dry. Option 2: Hang from a nail tacked into the window’s trim, deciding on the position of the wreath and temporarily securing the hook with tape.

To hang wreaths on windows using command hooks, clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and select appropriate hooks for the weight and size of your wreath. In a step-by-step video tutorial, apply thin double-sided tape to the back face of a large suction cup hook and apply the tape-filled hook to your window, centered horizontally.

How do I keep my wreath from falling off my window?

This text provides a list of various methods for hanging wreaths on windows. One method is using a decorative ribbon made for outdoor use, which is about 2-½ inches wide and four to five feet long. The length depends on the window’s length and desired position. The ribbon is then placed through the center opening of the wreath, brought up to meet the other end, and secured together. The wreath is then lowered to the outside, holding the ends of the ribbon.

The ribbon is then secured to the inside frame with a tack or small nail. If the ribbon doesn’t look appealing, it can be replaced with a heavy-duty fishing line or hook onto the latch between the upper and lower panes.

Magnetic Hooks are another option, which come in sets of two, one outside and the other inside. The magnets are secured in place temporarily with tape, and the wreath is then attached. Suction Cup Hooks are made specifically for hanging wreaths and can be applied similarly to adhesive hooks. The wreath is then suctioned onto the window, and the glass may be dampened before pushing it onto the pane.

Adjustable Tension Rod is another method that requires the rod to match the window frame and have a surrounding surface that projects out from the window frame to hold it in place. The rod is twisted to increase or decrease its length, and the wreath is attached to the tension rod with fishing line at the desired height.

These methods can work if done properly and by checking the weight limits for each hook. It may be beneficial to try different methods at the same time depending on the location of the wreaths, especially if you live in an area with high winds or severe winter weather. If you live in an area with high winds or severe winter weather, consider additional anchoring to the window, such as heavy-duty fishing line or shutters, to keep the wreath from blowing off the hooks.
