DIY Door Swag: a Refreshed Swag with a Southern Flare

Recreate and refresh an old swag.
Recreate and refresh an old swag.

This week I created a DIY door swag on a dime. My neighbor called and ask if I wanted to give her old faded door swag a little facelift. She didn’t want to spend a lot on the refurbish so I took on the challenge.

This is a king size door swag, measuring longer then 36 inches and bit sun faded and needing some help. I removed all the old faded fruit and green ribbons that cascaded down the length of it along with some willow sticks.

Unfortunately nothing could be salvaged but the basic door swag. In its day it was quite handsome. I definitely like the challenge and told her I would see what I could come up with for the fall. I basically wanted to do this with things I already had on hand and parts and pieces of other decor I might come across in my bag of crafts. This was a great way to keep the cost down.

It took me about one hour to redo the swag once I gathered all the goodies and ribbon.

I found a “Welcome” sign in the garage and the rest is history.

This is the final result, I think it worked out well.
