Updating your home when the seasons change doesn’t have to be expensive. Using common materials found in your home, you can create a festive front door that shows off your personal style and encourages guests to enjoy the season!

Materials needed:

  • Roll of butcher/freezer paper
  • Markers, crayons, paint–whatever medium you prefer to use
  • Tape and glue
  • Utility knife
  • Fall- and winter-themed stencils, self-adhesive foam pieces, stickers, ribbon and more!

  2. Decorate the door in a seasonal style you love.
