A
Halloween Garland for Your Front Door
(ARA) - Halloween is the time of year when the
home's front door becomes the focal point of
festivities. Whether it's trick-or-treaters
knocking, or family and friends stopping by for a
visit, Halloween is the perfect time to create a
unique and colorful front door decoration to delight
your visitors. JELD-WEN, the world's leading

created this harvest-themed raffia garland.

stores:

2. Take the raffia cluster
and bind off the top, if needed, with extra raffia pieces.
Braid the raffia loosely and tie off bottom about six inches
from the tail of garland with a single piece of raffia.
3. Glue small scarecrow into the raffia braid up near the
top. Make a double-looped ribbon, leaving long tails, and
tie around braid under small scarecrow. Tuck and glue tails
down into the edges of braid.
4. Glue in larger scarecrow below the ribbon, angled to the
side. Use the braid like a pincushion to anchor the
scarecrow's stick.
5. Add the individual fall leaves and Japanese lantern
clusters. Start at the top and work your way down, gluing
and inserting the items into the raffia braid.
6. Glue in moss or lichens to give a more authentic, fall
look.
