Tips for hanging Artificial or Tinsel Garlands.
Artificial and Tinsel Garlands can accent windows, doorways, stairs, balconies and fire place mantels. The first thing you need to do is measure the area you want to cover. When measuring around windows and doors make sure you include the trim molding in your measurement. This way the Garland won’t get caught when you open the door or window. Measure your stair rail from the top to the bottom of the stairs. To make sure you have the right number of Garlands to wrap around the rail, double or triple your measurement, depending how tight you want the wrap to be. The looser you wrap, the longer the Garland will drape. Select this link to view our Wooden Cranberry Garland.
Beads.
A bead is a small, decorative object that is pierced for threading or stringing. Beads range in size from under a millimeter to over a centimeter or sometimes several centimeters in diameter. Glass, plastic and stone are probably the most common materials, but beads are also made from bone, horn, ivory, metal, shell, pearl, coral, gemstones, polymer clay, metal clay, resin, synthetic minerals, wood, ceramic, fiber, paper, and seeds. A set of beads made from Nassarius shells, which are approximately 100,000 years old, are thought to be the first known examples of jewelry.

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 Decorative Candy Garland.
