How to hang a garland
Step 1: Set the Stage with a Tension Curtain Rod
Grab your tension curtain rod and position it in the desired space. This hack ensures damage-free hanging, making it perfect for both renters and homeowners.
Step 2: Garland Wrapping
Take your garland and wrap it around the tension rod evenly. This creates a beautiful base for your festive decorations. If your garland doesn’t already have Christmas balls attached to it, now is the time to add them.
Step 3: Introduce Floral Berry Picks
Enhance the natural look of your garland by incorporating floral berry picks. Scatter them throughout the garland, creating a visually appealing and cohesive design.
Step 4: Sparkle with Glittery Swirl Picks
For an extra touch of glamour, include glittery swirl picks. These will catch the light and add a magical sparkle to your Christmas display. Feel free to get creative with their placement!
Step 5: Illuminate with Micro Lights
Time to bring some twinkle into the mix! Take your battery-operated microlights and weave them through the garland. Twist the wire around and between the branches for an evenly distributed, enchanting glow.
Step 6: Secure the Ends with a Command Hook
To ensure everything stays in place, use a small command hook attached to the door frame. Secure the ends of the garland, and voilà ! Your masterpiece is complete.
