1. Garland On The Banister. To create this look, the key is to layer at least two different garlands together to make it look full. Use zip ties to attach the garland to the banister. Next, add extra strands of lights, plugged in at the top of the stairs. The bows are satin. Tie in some pinecones and faux berries from Michaels or JoAnn’s to finish the look. (via @mytexashouse)

Use fresh garland to create this beautiful look, and tuck it in behind each nail. (via Julie Blanner)
