How to Hang a Wreath From a Window the Quick and Easy Way

Use an outdoor glass hook for a quick exterior installation, or choose ribbon through a double-hung window to hang a wreath from indoors.

For the quickest outdoor installation, use a window hook rated for outdoor use and compatible with glass. Clean the glass with isopropyl alcohol, let it dry, apply the hook as directed, press firmly for 30 seconds, then wait one hour before hanging the wreath. Check the hook’s own weight limit first. If you have a double-hung window and want to avoid attaching hardware to the outside glass, pass ribbon through the open window and secure it indoors.

Hang a wreath on exterior glass with an outdoor adhesive hook

Choose an outdoor window hook whose package confirms it is suitable for glass and for the wreath’s weight. Follow that specific product’s surface-preparation, application, cure-time and load instructions; a rating or waiting time for one model does not apply to another.

  1. Check the package for glass compatibility, outdoor use and the maximum weight.
  2. Clean the glass with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry completely.
  3. Apply the hook according to its design. For Command clear outdoor hooks, Command’s general instructions say to apply the strip to the window and press for 30 seconds, then place the hook and press for another 30 seconds.
  4. Wait the product’s stated time before adding weight. Command’s US holiday-window instructions say, “Wait 1 hour, then hang up your holiday wreaths.”
  5. Hang the wreath without exceeding the hook’s stated weight limit.

Command says its outdoor hooks use UV-resistant and water-resistant adhesive and lists an operating range of -20°F to 125°F. Those are Command-specific product details, not a guarantee for every adhesive hook, climate or glass condition. See Command’s Holiday Windows instructions and its general indoor and outdoor hook instructions.

Choose another method if adhesive is not right for your window

Method Useful when What to check
Ribbon through a double-hung window You can open the sash enough to pass the wreath through and prefer to secure it from indoors. Secure the ribbon indoors with a knot or small tack so it cannot slip. This method depends on the window design.
Suction-cup wreath hook You want removable glass mounting, particularly for a lighter wreath. Check the product’s load rating, clean the glass, test the hold before hanging and recheck it if temperatures fluctuate. Ratings differ by product.
Magnetic hook You want paired inside-and-outside hooks without adhesive or holes. Magnets may work best on single-pane glass or metal; double-pane or insulated glass can be too thick for a secure hold.
Tension rod inside the frame You want to hang the wreath indoors and the frame is deep enough for a secure fit. Confirm the rod grips firmly, then hang the wreath with ribbon or fishing line.

Jackson & Perkins describes these alternatives in its guide to hanging window wreaths outdoors and decorating inside. Adams describes its Pro Grade Suction Wreath Hook as intended for large or heavy wreaths on glass doors and windows, but the product page does not state a numeric load rating. Check the specific hook’s packaging or instructions rather than assuming a rating.

Prevent a loose or swinging wreath

  • Remove screens before installing the wreath, as they can interfere with placement.
  • Do not puncture vinyl-clad window frames to secure a hanger.
  • For an exposed or windy location, consider tying the lower part of the wreath to the frame or shutters with fishing line to limit swinging, if the window and building configuration allow it.
  • Do not assume any hook is universally damage-free or secure: the result depends on the surface, the load and correct installation.

For another manufacturer example of cleaning glass, pressing the hook and allowing time before hanging, see Command’s Front Porch Decor instructions.
