How do I keep my hanging door decorations from banging on my door?

I have several hanging wooden "decorations/wreaths" that I want to use for the upcoming holidays. When the wind blows they move and bang on my door. Any suggestions?

Put a piece of double faced tape on the back. After the holidays, use a little Goo Gone or baby oil to remove the stickiness from the tape.
Velcro works well also and is easy to remove when the holiday is over.
My door is metal so adhesives don't work well. I tried those last year.

small pieces of weather stripping makes a great cushion.
Velcro is what I use.
I agree with Nancy's suggestion of using magnets.
A small bit of double stick tape or poster putty.
Use a Foam pad or use Felt or maybe Stick an old sock etc at the back of decoration.
First, loop fishing line through the wreath, then create two additional loops and place them through your wreath. Place one of these two loops over each top corner of the door, and, voila — your wreath appears to be “floating” on your door and there's no damage to be found.

Magnets glued to the back of the decorative wooden pieces will work well on a metal door. You can use some of the artist gum between certain spots on the decor item and the door if the door is wood. Also some "Alien" tape will do the trick on either a metal or wood door. It doesn't take much of it to resolve the issue.
Hi Tina: You can use double sided tape in several places to hold them down.
