Our curly gold, red and green Garland is 15 feet long and 2½ inches wide. This Garland consists of gold textured Foil strips that are curled into loops. The tops of the loops and the open ends have been sliced into very thin strips. This gives the Garland a delicate and very elegant look. Strips of shiny red and green Tinsel have been added throughout the Garland for extra color and texture. Select this link to view our Decorated Country Holiday Garland.
Decorating with Artificial or Tinsel Garlands.
Try wrapping Artificial or Tinsel Garlands around a banister railing, pole or pillar. To add color to a room you can drape Garlands over picture frames, from ceiling corners or even around a chandelier. Choose a theme and hang glass balls or other Christmas ornaments from the branches of Artificial Garland or weave a strand of colorful Bead Garland through the boughs of Pine Garland. You can add more glitter and glitz by wrapping a strand of Bead Garland around Tinsel Garland so that the Beads make short drapes across the length of the Tinsel Garland.

There are many ways to secure Garland to your walls, stairs, or fireplace mantel. It is basically a personal decision. You can use anything from thumbtacks, small finishing nails, ticky tack or tape. It just depends on the surface and finish of the object you are securing the Garland to. I do recommend that you not put a hole in your doorway or window trim molding. Instead, if you need to use a nail or thumb tack, use a very skinny one. There are very short and narrow finishing nails available at most hardware stores. If you must use a nail put them in the wall just above the trim molding at each corner, that way the holes will be small and less noticeable. Attach the garland to the nail by double wrapping the Tinsel Garland or a Pine Garland tip around the small nail to hold it in place.

For fireplace mantles I have found that two sided tape or ticky tack holds well and does not harm the finish. Other wise I use a small thumb tack, but never a nail. Select this link to view our 9 Foot Red Crystal Nugget Apple Garland With Pine Cones.
Adding Garlands to your live or Artificial Christmas Tree.
Adding woody Pine Garland with berries or fruit to your tree adds great contrast and texture. Also the addition of a glitzy Tinsel Garland can add color and sparkle to your tree. Add either Tinsel or Pine Garlands to your tree after you put your lights on and before you add any ornaments. For a fairly full, 7½ foot tree you will want to add two or three Pine Garlands. Depending on how wide your tree is and how much of your tree you want to cover with the Garland. Start adding the Pine Garland from the bottom of the tree and work your way up. The bottom of the tree is the fattest part and will take the most Garland. You can either wrap around the tree or use a series of swags. The method for adding Tinsel Garland is the same. The difference is that you can cut Tinsel Garland into different lengths and add them here and there as you like. You can add Ribbon in the same manner as either type of Garland and with the same effect. Select this link to view our Silver Foil Garland with Multi Colored Bulbs.
