I am looking for some "natural" decorating ideas for the Christmas Holiday. I plan on using Magnolia leaves, pine bows and pine cones as interior decorations. What I would really like is some outside ideas that I can use. Particularly for my front door and back door as well as my mailbox.
I want to use elements that I can pick up from outside that don't cost anything. I have lots of ribbons and gold and silver spray paints so I can add color to my decorations.
If you have access to a forested area you are sure to find some ground pine (easily looked up if you're not sure what it looks like). It's a vine that grows on the bottom floor of the woods that, as the name suggests, looks like pine. It is an evergreen and the vine is easy to pull up. Wrap it around poles, mailboxes, etc. It's a beautiful, natural garland. Make sure to take plenty of trashbags on your outing, as you'll probably need to pick up plenty.
