For the next few weeks I am going to give decorating tips on Christmas decor!
Today we will start with a garland for the staircase.
My tip for saving some money is to buy longer pieces of pretty garland, and then cut it into pieces. I also just cut the green garland into strips. Later in the week I even found some pieces at the dollar store that would have made a nice look if you combined them in this way.
So, after you have cut the pieces simply lay the cut decorative garland on the green garland and use the green garland to hold it buy just twisting garland pieces to hold. For the ribbon this is an easy way to make one! Just tie a bow and leave enough room to add another bow.
Count your pickets and space out the altered pieces and attach the same way by using the "leaves" of the green garland and twist them around the post.
This can be the extent of your garland, or if you choose to enhance you can do like I did and add the loopy green garland along the way, bringing to a point at the pickets where you have applied the other garland pieces.
Please feel free to
email with questions.
As always I am available for design services as well.
