Looking for a fresh, fuss-free way to decorate your front door year-round? This simple everyday front door swag is the perfect project! It’s quick to make, full of charm, and works with a variety of home styles—from farmhouse to cottagecore.

Using just a few floral stems and a gingham ribbon, you can create a budget-friendly door accent that looks beautiful in any season.

Supplies You’ll Need:

• 3 Clematis Leaf Stems
• 3 Wildflower Stems
• 1” Gingham Ribbon
• Zip ties
• Tinsel tie

Try mixing in different wildflower colors depending on the season. Swap yellow and white for spring, or add rust tones for fall!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Fluff Your Stems

Start by spreading out the leaves and flowers on your clematis and wildflower stems to give them a fuller, natural appearance.

2. Layer Your Greenery

Lay down your clematis leaf stems first. This will serve as the foundation of your swag.

3. Add Wildflowers

Evenly place the wildflower stems throughout the greenery. You can alternate directions or keep them uniform depending on the look you want.

4. Secure with a Zip Tie

Once you’re happy with the arrangement, zip tie all the stems together at the center. Make sure it’s tight so the swag holds its shape.

5. Add the Bow

Tie a cute bow using your 1” gingham ribbon and attach it to the zip tie using a tinsel tie or wire. Fluff the loops and adjust the tails.

6. Hang and Adjust

Trim any excess stems or ribbon. Use a second zip tie or a loop of floral wire on the back to hang your swag easily on your door hook or nail.
