What could I hang on my front door in the spring or summer (like a wreath)?

I have a beautiful vine/red berry wreath that is great for winter, but I have no idea what to put up in warmer weather. I think the red berries look too "wintery" to leave up year-round. I don't care much for artificial flowers, becuase they tend to look so fake and plastic. I can't use fresh and replace when they die, because the front door has a full-glass screen door in front of it, and temperatures between the doors reach too high to allow fresh flowers to look good. I could use dried flowers I suppose, but am not even sure what "base" of wreath to use - I think grapevine and evergreen are too "wintery." I don't want something crafty-looking, but rather an elegant, sophisticated but very welcoming and inviting look. Any suggestions?

i once saw a really cool wreath made of succulants and air plants. they just needed the mininmal amount of misting every once in awhile. it was a living piece of art that hung on the front door. lasted for a year, owned by negligent, black- thumb types. could last a lot longer if owned by someone even slightly more diligent.

You could use some fancy, wired ribbon and nest, birds, even bugs for decorations

Reply:You could do something along the lines of a piece of metal sculpture. Go to one of the big home improvement chains and look at the wire they carry. You'll want something fairly thick but easily pliable, like aluminum. Get enough of it to make a frame that will also be a visible part of the art. Take newspaper and make a frame support in the size and width you want and use it to wrap your wire around . I would do it loosely and in a random pattern with overlaps. Cut your paper out when you're satisfied w/it. Then go looking for metal floral decor. You can find things like this in the same store being sold as hardware for furniture or in craft stores. You can mix it with dry flowers but you'll need to make a strong statement with the dry pieces. Anything too delicate will just be lost. You'll need to wire and glue these to the wreath.
