This one I just set on the porch, but it could easily hang on a front door.  It comes with its own loop.

AB's post inspired me to think about how I could make something in honor of 9-ll.  I didn't personally know any victims, but I don't think any American wasn't affected by it.

I really like fireman boots, probably because my dad was chief of our local dept. when I was a little kid and my job was to hand him his boots whenever we had to take off on an emergency run.  He was MY hero, so what better way to honor those fallen heroes and innocent victims than with a firemans boot.  I have quite a few of them but never came up with a good project for them (except for next to a fireplace to hold wood).  But they seem to make a good holder for flowers.  This project was kind of thrown together last minute but I wanted to post it while it was still Sept. 11.  Thanks for the inspiration AB!
