Moon and angels on the door

Simple D.I.Y. Christmas decorating idea for your main door

Look well at this craft decorating idea for your main door. Isn't it nice and original? very different from the classical wreath? if you are looking for a new and orginal idea for Holiday Seson this could be your choice. I used Italian equipment by TO-DO, an Italian northern factory but you can make it easily choosing decoupage paper with front-and-back designs and something where to glue these images: very thin plywood (to be cut with scissors) or foam rubber sheet. In this way you can have angels well made on both sides.
