Editor’s Tip: Always buy more garland than you think you’ll need, since you’ll want to excess for draping. We’ve found that one-and-a-half times the length of your space is enough. Editor’s Tip: Faux fir greenery is ideal for a doorway application, since the needles won’t fall off as the door opens and closes. Editor’s Tip: Garlands aren’t just for your holiday mantel. Try displaying your Christmas garland in an unexpected location, like your headboard. Editor’s Tip: Take a walk around your yard or a nearby park and gather the last remnants of the growing season—interesting leaves and dried flowers, for example—to embellish your Christmas garland. Editor’s Tip: If you don’t have enough felt flowers to line your banister, use them to decorate small spaces, such as bookshelves, windows, and mirrors. Editor’s Tip: Secure the Christmas cards to the garland by tucking them neatly into the boughs or hanging them on the branches with small pieces of twine.
