A Floral Creation to Make at Home from JELD-WEN
September 06, 2005 —
This wreath is built on a commonly available plain base. Contrasting rustic reds and tapestry ribbon are designed to make the best use of the colorful JELD-WEN® Gladiator® Steel door it sits upon. The round wreath shape pleasingly contrasts with this popular six-panel door style.
Decor idea:
The decorative tapestry ribbon and gold-painted holly leaves and pinecones add a touch of glamour. The berry fruit and faux acorns add another layer of visual elements that makes the wreath complete.
About this door:
The Gladiator® steel door offers affordability and low maintenance for homeowners seeking a traditional entry door style with a number of options, like sidelights shown here.
