There's something magical about a beautifully adorned Christmas garland on your mantle. But if you've ever wondered how to make it look full and fabulous, you're in the right place. I'm sharing a simple method that will have your mantle looking like it belongs on a holiday postcard. So here’s what to buy and how to hang them!

Here's what you'll need:

Garlands
I chose to layer four different garlands for added depth and texture. You can find a variety of styles to suit your decor. I liked to use two higher quality garlands on top and two cheaper ones underneath and hanging to the left side. If there are any bald spots or places where they don’t blend well then use some cedar sprays! Here’s what I used:
Command Cord Bundlers: These little gems are fantastic for securing your garlands in place without leaving any marks on your mantle. These ones are large enough to hold all of my garlands. I used 4 across my whole mantle.
Command Light Clips: I used one of these to hold my bells on the mantle. I also love these for garlands when you are not layering so much. They perfectly fit the main strand on most garlands.
Twinkling Lights: A must for the cozy inviting feel. Add twinkling lights to every thing!! The ones linked are what I used on our main tree this year.
Wooden Star Garland
Dried Orange Garland: Dried orange garlands not only look festive but also bring a lovely scent to your home. You can make your own by drying orange slices in the air fryer or find pre-made ones online.
Metal Bells

Tips to create your lush Christmas garland:

Layer with Intention
Start by layering your garlands with the least expensive one on the bottom and the higher-quality ones on top. This adds depth and richness to your garland.
Mix and Intertwine
To create a fuller look, intertwine the garland branches together. Pull branches from one garland into the other to make it appear seamless.
Let It Twinkle
Add a touch of magic by weaving twinkling lights throughout the garland. This adds a warm, inviting glow to your display.
Make it Yours!
Add whatever accessories speak to you-for me it’s always large bells and whatever garlands catch my eye.
Secure with Command Cord Bundlers
Use Command Cord Bundlers to secure your garland to the mantle without leaving any marks. This ensures a neat and damage-free setup.

And there you have it - a full and fabulous Christmas garland for your mantle that will impress your friends and family. It's amazing what a few garlands, some creativity, and the right tools can do. Enjoy your beautifully adorned mantle all season long! 🎅🏡🎁
