Classic holiday accessories, like lush garlands and wreaths fill your home with cheer — whether it’s framing a doorway, hung on the wall, draped over the banister or decorating a mantel. There are endless places around the house to display greenery (think sprigs of spruce, pine, fir or magnolia). The problem is, hanging heavy garlands and wreaths is challenging and since it’s only temporary home decor, you don’t want to install screws or nails that will permanently damage your space.
To help make your holiday season just a little bit easier, we’re sharing easy holiday hacks for how to hang garland without nails, screws or drills — although we do provide one solution for covering those tiny nail holes, if needed. Start scrolling to find ideas for hanging Christmas garlands and wreaths on stairs, windows, mirrors, lighting fixtures and more. There’s also inspiration for outside, including how to hang three homemade wreaths from the front door and how to drape a garland on the front porch.
Even if you’re a novice DIYer, you probably have most of these supplies on hand: twine, Command hooks, fishing line and zip ties, to name a few. Before you get started, take note from Sarah Fischer of Sarah & Sons Interiors: “Measure! You’ll want enough material so the garland can drape gracefully. Since garland can be heavy, consider ordering in 6 to 8 foot lengths, so you can work in sections.”
