It’s time to bring on the Christmas spirit. After all “it’s the season to be jolly”. Truthfully speaking, the true holiday spirit begins at home and your holiday décor at home adds to almost 80 percent of the festivity vibe.

Getting a décor inspiration may not be that hard a job but getting that design implicated might require some sweat and blood! The first step is to look for a design inspiration that you truly love and it should reflect your style. After you finalize your dream plan, make a list of the decorations that you require. You can segregate them into two categories; new decorations that you need to buy from the stores and the decorations that can be reused from the previous ones. Gather all your wreaths and garlands that will be hung. And once everything is in place, giving your home that extra festive twinkle, every effort will be totally worth it.

Since we are here to help you with all the grunt work that goes behind in giving your home the perfect festive look, we have compiled an extensive guide on how to hang your Christmas wreath and garland without ruining or permanently damaging walls and doors. So read on!

1. Use Ties and Nylon Fishing Line For Securing Your Garlands

Nylon fishing lines are a great way to securely tie your garlands and wreaths. While draping a garland on the handrail of your staircase, use these ties because they are strong and almost invisible. Start from the bottom of your staircase. Tie one end of it to the garland and make your way up till the top and tie securely. Moreover, you can use these to hang your wreaths also. For that, you will need an adhesive hook and a string of the fishing line according to the height at which you desire to hang your wreath. Firmly place your hook on the marked spot and tie one end of the fishing line with the hook of the wreath. For the other end, make a small hook of the cord and hang it on your adhesive hook. And there you have it: a hanging wreath on your door or your wall!

3. Hanging Wreaths with Ribbons or Jute Twine

Want to add an extra style element to your wreath? Use ribbons or jute twine to hang them.  Twine will give a rustic, farmhouse look to your wreath décor. For this, you will need a ribbon of the required length and a transparent command hook. Pick a ribbon that will harmonize with the theme of your décor or your wreath. Measure the length of your ribbon based on the position you want the wreath to be hanging at, from your hook. Pass one end of the ribbon through the center of your wreath and make a loop out of it by tying the two ends very securely. Hang that loop on the command hook or any coat hanger or a peg. For extra aesthetics, cut the extended two ends of the ribbons neatly and keep them dangling in the center of the wreath.

9. Window Suction and Double-Sided Magnet Hooks are Great For Glass Doors or Windows

If you have a glass or a storm door then it’s time to make a stop at your local hardware. Purchase all the possible and cheap supplies for hanging wreaths.

Magnetic hooks work best for single paned doors or windows. The only drawback for these kinds of hooks is that they cannot hold up much weight. So they tend to be a great fix for lightweight wreaths and decorations. Just make sure that you check the weight limit for these hooks before investing in them.
