Well, one idea is to make a big Christmas wreath and attach it to the door. Also, you can stick some colorful Christmas stickers for a fun touch. These are easy and look great!
One simple idea is to create a wreath with a Christmas story theme. You can use fake holly, berries, and a ribbon. Then, attach small cut - outs of characters from a favorite Christmas story, like Santa from 'The Night Before Christmas'.
You can paint a scene from a Christmas story directly on the door. If it's the story of the Nativity, paint a simple manger scene. Use stencils if you're not confident in your free - hand painting skills. For a more 3D effect, add some small figurines to the painted scene, like little plastic sheep or angels. Also, consider using a large piece of fabric as a door covering. Choose a fabric with a pattern that relates to the Christmas story, like a fabric with Santa Claus if your story involves him.
You can take some old Christmas cards with pictures related to Christmas stories. Cut out the relevant parts and arrange them on the door in a collage - like manner. Maybe add some cotton balls as snow to complete the look. This gives a very nostalgic and warm feel to the door, and it's a great way to recycle those old cards.
A simple yet effective idea is to make a paper chain. But instead of just plain paper, use paper with printed images from a Christmas story. If it's the story of Frosty the Snowman, print out pictures of Frosty and cut them into strips for the chain. Another idea is to create a door collage. Cut out different characters and scenes from the storybook and arrange them on the door in an artistic way. Use some glue or double - sided tape to keep them in place.
You could go for a traditional look with a decorated Christmas tree, stockings hung by the fireplace, and colorful lights everywhere.
One idea could be a story about a lonely snowman who comes to life on Christmas Eve. He sets out on a journey to find a family to celebrate with. Along the way, he meets various animals that help him understand the true meaning of Christmas, which is love and togetherness.
A creative idea could be to turn it into a musical. The characters break into song to express their joys, fears and hopes. For example, Mary could sing a beautiful aria when she realizes she is pregnant. Another idea is to make it a sci - fi version. The manger could be a spaceship and the star could be a guiding alien light leading the 'wise men' who are actually intergalactic travelers.
One creative title could be 'The Christmas Star's Secret'. It gives a sense of mystery as the Christmas star is an important symbol in the Christmas story. Readers would be curious to find out what the secret related to the star is.
