To create additional décor: You may want to add more interest and cover up any installed hardware on your door.  You can coordinate with your serving-ware by using large gold napkins (or whatever napkin matches your theme) to make a decorative pom-pom.

Cut two large napkins in half lengthwise. Stack them on top of each other.

Fold the napkin halves back and forth in an accordion style. Secure by twisting a pipe cleaner around the center of the accordion.
