Christmas Decorating In The Kitchen

Do I ever love decorating for Christmas?! The answer is YES! 

But I had neglected my kitchen in the decorating department for so long. I don’t know why. But I know that my kitchen will never be dull again during the holiday season now that I have discovered these evergreen mini wreaths. Well actually, these are candle wrings but they work.

I’ve been adding them to my kitchen cabinets every December for a few years now. Well, it’s more like November. It’s a great way to make the kitchen feel festive without clutter.

I’ve also started adding them to my bathroom cabinet doors too. Hey, bathrooms deserve decorating too. Don’t ya think? It always amazes me how a simple wreath can change the whole feel of your cabinets and make a beautiful statement. 

The Best Wreaths For Kitchen Cabinets

The best wreath for your kitchen cabinets is the one you love. Purchase them from Hobby Lobby or DIY your mini wreaths. It really doesn’t matter. Of course, when choosing mini wreaths, they will need to fit the front of the cabinet door, or it might look a tad bit overdone.

 That’s why I stick with the smaller-size wreaths. There are many options, and the perfect size will fit within the frame of the cabinet door. The average cabinet door will accommodate an 8-10 inch wreath. Evergreen wreaths are most commonly used for the holiday season.

If you have trouble finding smaller wreaths, try searching for candle rings. That is what I’m using today.

How To Hang Mini Wreaths From A Kitchen Cabinet Door

What you’ll need: 

How do you hang a wreath without damaging wood doors?

Do not use nails or tacks! No way am I putting holes in my painted cabinets. We just painted them last Spring. Instead, I tried this simple trick. TAPE! It works!

In my honest opinion, you could use command hooks hung upside down, but those are a bit pricey. Here’s what I do.

STEP 1: Measure The Ribbon

So, before you begin, measure and cut the desired length of ribbon you’ll need for all your wreaths at one time. This will save you time. 

The ribbon length depends on how far you want the wreaths to hang. I like the center, but it’s your preference when hanging your kitchen cabinet wreaths.

Also, consider the amount of extra ribbon you’ll need to loop around the wreath to secure it and hang it over the top of the cabinet door. I added about 2 inches for the top overhang and 4 inches to secure the ribbon to the wreath.

STEP 2: How To Secure The Ends Of The Ribbon

After cutting the proper length of ribbon, it’s time to secure it to the wreath. 

Thread the ribbon through the back of the wreath and secure it with hot glue from behind. Be sure that your ribbon faces with the front side showing. I did the first one wrong side out. It wouldn’t be normal if I got it right the first time. HA!

I used a lacey vintage ribbon to hang my mini olive wreaths, but the ends frayed a bit after cutting. Adding a small amount of hot glue to the ends was the answer to keep it from further fraying. Plus, if I ever (and I will) want to change out the ribbon, it can be easily pulled apart. 

Be careful not to burn your fingers when using a hot glue gun to secure the ribbon. Finger protectors would have been nice but I didn’t use them. I’m a rebel.

I used clear packing tape (or duct tape) to wrap around the top end of the ribbon to seal it off—no need to use a hot glue gun for this end.

STEP 3: How To Hang Mini Wreaths With Tape

Now that you have the ribbon attached to the wreath, it’s time to hang them. 

On the inside of the cabinet door, drape the ribbon across the top by about an inch or so. Find the center of the door and secure it to the back of the cabinet door with tape.

I prefer using clear packing tape so that when the cabinet door is opened, all you see is a simple fold-over of the lace. No bulky hangers! 

If you have glass doors, as I do, you’ll need to ensure the tape isn’t visible from the front side of the cabinets. I have been known to use painter’s tape to secure them too. CLICK HERE to see another example of mini wreaths hung on kitchen cabinets.

Measuring the ribbon is essential because you want them to hang at the same level. 

Somebody needs to scrape the paint off those glass doors! Yikes! I’m a bit behind in the clean-up department. No one will see the inside of the cabinet doors when they’re shut. No one but you. It’s our dirty little secret. 🙂

Hanging the wreaths at eye level is a good look when decorating your cabinet doors. Being able to view them from every angle is visually pleasing. I especially love viewing the side of the wreath when I walk into my kitchen.
