I said this to y’all before, how can this be December and only 10 days until Christmas??  I haven’t even showed you our Christmas home yet!!  Can you believe we just finished decorating the outside of our home?  Yep, I added the two planters yesterday morning.  Wow, cutting it close to the wire, right?

Today I am joining Cindy over at Cloches and Lavender to share our Christmas porches.

Our porch is a small area to decorate, we live in the south why we don’t have a southern styled porch I don’t know. 🙂  I still try to bring a warm and welcoming vibe to the porch as much as I can.  Mr. Tip and I normally hang wreaths on all the front windows and I decorate the front door with a pretty wreath.  This year since I am doing a porch tour with Cindy I decided to give the porch a little more decorations.

Several years ago after the holidays I found two Christmas planters marked down 90% in Big Lots.  Over the years I pull stems out to use for other decorations, so when I brought them down this year they looked pretty sad.  I removed the greenery in the planter and started with an empty planter.

I added a wreath to the top of the planter to create a base for my arrangement.

To attach the wreath to the planter I made landscaping hooks out of wire coat hangers.  Running two hooks through both sides of the wreath into the planter’s foam.

I used branches, berries, picks, and pinecones to add to the planter.

I placed a red velvet bow to finish the arrangement.

I placed the two planters on the top step of our porch.

I did remove the string of lights that came on the greenery with the planter.  Maybe next year I will add them back on.

I used the same ribbon with the decorations on the porch.

I am using the same wreath on our door from Christmas 2018 with some minor changes.  Here’s the wreath back on Christmas 2018.

I removed the sign and changed out the bow.  That’s it!!

I placed a Christmas tree inside the milk can and added a bow.

I placed last year’s Christmas door mat in front of the door.

Refreshing up the things I had on hand was a quick way to decorate the porch.

I am happy our outside is decorated.  Now…if I can sit long enough to get presents wrapped!!
