This year my garland is simple. OR simpler than last year. I still love a full, fat lovely garland but for some reason this garland wasn’t packed with the rest of the Christmas stuff so I had early access to it and I realized how much I love it.


It’s just two strands of natural looking plastic garland from Hobby Lobby. Bought a few years ago a half price. I looked this year but I couldn’t find more. I like how real this garland looks with it’s yellowy brown edges.


I made three tiny holes in my mantle {because I’m not afraid of holeyness} and just attached the garland to the tacks.


It was kind of plain so of course, I had to add something to it. I found a few picks of red cherries and berries and just laid them in. Then I tore off a few leaves from a fake branch and stuffed them in as well.


Very simple. Very pretty. Very done.
