What length should a Christmas garland be?
The length of the Christmas garland is dependent on where you would like it to be displayed and whether it is to be attached, draped, or twisted.
For a mantlepiece:
You should measure the length of your mantle and add 3-4 feet for drape.
For a staircase:
You should measure the length of the bannister or rail and then times that dimension by one and a half.
How do I attach a garland to a staircase?
When styling a Christmas garland for stairs, here are some tips:
1. Attach one end of your garland to the end of the bannister. Make sure you do this securely, with strong twine.
2. Place one end of the garland at the top of your staircase. Wrap strong twine around the end of the garland and the bannister and pull it tight.
3. Another more natural-looking option is to attach your garland at one end of your staircase and weave it around the bannister for a textured finish.
How do I attach a garland to a fireplace?
Attaching a garland to a fireplace mantle can be achieved by following the below advice:
1. Lay your garland across the top of your mantle, and allow around 3-4 feet to drape to each side.
2. Attach hooks to your mantle to keep your garland in place. Make sure you choose non-damaging adhesive styles with double-sided tape on the back.
How else can I style a Christmas garland?
Another great way to use your Christmas garland is to style it as part of a tablescape.
To do so, lay, weave, or drape your Christmas garland through the centre of your table - ensuring you have enough length for both ends to hang elegantly.
Next, intercept with bud vases filled with festive flowers and foliage, plus taper candles in coordinating shades.
