Assemble holiday collections,
fragrant greenery, fresh flowers, or flamboyant ribbons into
artistic garlands. Accent mantels, stairways, and entryways with
graceful swags of color.
Mantels
In this brilliant garland, delicate glass ornaments are wired
and hot-glued to a felt-backed wire frame.
Coordinating ribbons fill in
between the ornaments, and oversize bows give the finishing touch.
This garland would be equally at home over a door or a window.
The artistic mantel garland is
an appropriate counterpoint to the massive and ornate fireplace
and framed mirror. Fresh flowers tucked into greenery can be
changed during the season.
Coordinate holiday displays with
your home's architectural style for stunning results.
Stairways
Substitute colossal pinecones for ribbon bows. Secure a garland
of gently twisted lengths of ribbon, with streamers aplenty,
to a cluster of pinecones.
Tie each pinecone bow to a baluster,
adjusting the cascade of ribbons and adding strands of wired
metallic beads for lustrous holiday pizzazz. Various ribbon widths,
patterns, and colors coordinate with the decor to create a gala
welcoming display in an entryway or on a stairway.
Fresh roses entwined in greenery
lure the eye upward along the gentle curves of the staircase.
Vibrant red adds cheerful holiday color to the neutral scheme
of this entryway.
