Frequently asked questions

How long should garland be?

Add 50% to your measured length so the garland can drape and swag naturally. A 6-foot mantel wants 9 feet of garland to look full rather than tight and stretched.

How do I make faux garland look real?

Fluff every tip outward and downward, layer two different garland styles together: pine plus eucalyptus is the magic combo, and add fresh-cut greenery picks woven into the faux base.

How do I light garland without visible cords?

Use battery-operated LED string lights with built-in timers. Tuck the battery pack inside the garland itself or behind a candlestick where it stays hidden but reachable.
