I have similar mantle. I love command hooks but they don’t seem to like some textures. However nail holes don’t show. The rubber band idea a good one. Actually thinking of about five other ways to use in similar fashion. Like your fall touch

We could buy vines at Hobby Lobby and spend a good deal more, But this is much more beautiful and found free outside your door!!

Hi Sue. Yes. Exactly!! And for me, the branches are very temporary and only there for a short time before the big moments of Christmas! Thanks for your kind words. Jeanne of Doodle T and Me!

Looks lovely. But isn't the vine Poison Ivy?
It is so easy yet beautiful, however, isn't it a fire hazard? 🤔
