If it’s a picture window and it’s on the inside, why not install an “eye hook” in the wood trim above and hang it that way…may have to fill the holes later.

I bought a 48 prelit wreath and have a large picture window with plantation shutters on it. I need to hang wreath on INSIDE because we live in windy desert. Any ideas? It is a fairly heavy wreath and my problem is casing for shutters is vinyl My one idea is to use a closet wooden clothes pole and balance between the opened shutters then hang the wreath with wire on that rod.

Sounds like a great solution! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tip. Today I looped clear braiding Rexlace (used for lanyards) around and through the bottom of the wreaths and pulled two ends into the bottom of the sash securing ends by tying them to a bobbin (from my sewing collection) The bobbins have a whole in the middle like a spool so it made tying the ends easy. The lanyard rope is clear so not visible from outside. The Rexlace has a bit of stretch to it so I was able to tightly pull it to secure the wreaths. I will see how this works with next wind.

Ahh…..that is one down side. You could make another ribbon for the bottom and close it in the bottom sash.

This year I hung window wreaths for the first time. I figured they would be easier to hang than the swags I’d hung in prior years, plus the swags would blow in wind at times and end up crooked. The method I used for the wreaths was to hang them with red velvet ribbon and staple the end of ribbon to a wooden dowel. I just drop the wreath out the top and close the window on the ribbon with the dowel inside to keep wreath from dropping. My windows downstairs are taller than upstairs so I can label the dowels to easily identify which ones go where next year. I just discovered a big problem. It was very windy last night and the wreaths blew all night making a scraping noise. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can put on the back of the artificial wreaths to stop them from making noise if they move?
