How do you make Christmas garland?

Several methods exist for making a Christmas garland, as part of the home décor. For holiday home decoration, one can create lush, beautiful greenery based Christmas garlands that will wow your family and friends.

A lot of DIY methods are readily available for creating a beautiful Christmas garland. Initially, you have to organize all the elements of your garland to make the entire process very smooth. For attaching your garland, use good-quality command hooks. Step by step process is as follows:

  • Fix the hooks on top of the mantel, at each corner. This will compensate for the downward pull of the garland.
  • Tuck in the center of the garland to the top hooks.
  • Adjust as needed, and then wrap a sprig around each hook to keep it all in place.
  • Using a lighter garland removes the extra step and lets you jump ahead to fluffing up the branches.
  • You may cut a separate garland into numerous sprigs that can be added into the mix.
  • Attach Chenille stems with the initial piece.
  • Add as many as you need to achieve the look you want, and move right along to pine needle picks, to create a different look.
  • One can use a patterned accent ribbon, along with a solid colored one to compliment it.
  • Attach the ribbon to the garland made.
  • One can also add poinsettias to bring out the festive mood.
  • Add ornaments, which come in varied shapes and sizes

What is garland made of?

Chenille stems are perfect for attaching the sprigs to the garland since they twist and secure easily, and blend right into the greenery. Including pine needle picks into your garland decoration will add yet another element of color and texture to the garland.

One can also add ribbons to the existing garland, after attaching chenille stems. To add poinsettias to the green garland with ribbons, the trick is trimming the stems and bending each into a shepherd’s hook that can be slipped into and around the garland. One can also add ornaments to your garland.

Conclusion

The easiest way to hang a garland evenly is by finding its middle and lining that up with the center of the mantel. While making a garland, always ensure that the greenery is nice and full.

Adding extra greenery makes the garland life-like. While attaching the ribbon to your garland, the easiest method to follow is tuck and twist method.

Random ribbon arrangement looks best on a garland, with loops appearing to come from within the garland instead of just wrapping around. When adding poinsettias, use only a few in your garland arrangement, as they are usually pretty big. When adding ornaments, fill in bigger sized ones first, followed by smaller ornaments.
