•1 strip of heavy cloth (burlap works well) long enough to frame the door
•decorative ribbons in coordinating colours
•leaves and dried cornstalks

How-to
Working on the ground, wind metallic thread around vines to create a garland long enough to frame the door. Check that the string of lights is in working order, then lay it down on top of the vines. Wind cloth and ribbon around both the lights and the vines. Wind more metallic thread or the rope around vines, lights, cloth and ribbon. Fasten the garland to the door frame. Stick on the leaves and tie dried cornstalks onto the garland with ribbon.
