This smart shower rod hack and a DIY craft<\/a> involving dried oranges are two Christmas garland ideas you’ll want to copy this season<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Let’s talk about beautiful Christmas garland decor!<\/h2>\n

I have been busy decking the halls and preparing for a fun holiday. With Christmas decorating in full swing, I wanted to share a couple of easy DIYs I have had success with. Maybe they can inspire some fun and easy DIY ideas for your home!<\/p>\n

\"hanging<\/p>\n

I tried the viral decorating hack of using a tension rod<\/a> to hang a garland in the doorway!<\/h2>\n

WOW. I love how this turned out! What a fun way and easy way to hang Christmas garland! I did have some troubles along the way with this project, but hopefully you can avoid the same issues I encountered by using my tips.<\/p>\n

This method of using a curtain or shower curtain rod has sure been popular this year in my social media feeds, and I was so excited to jump on this trend.<\/p>\n

\"using<\/p>\n

My number one tip for this is to use a strong tension rod.<\/h2>\n

I initially bought a thin one and it just kept falling from the weight of the garland. My doorway here is narrow, so a shower curtain rod was out of the question. I almost gave up, but then decided to search online for a better solution.<\/p>\n

This strong tension rod from Amazon<\/a> made such a huge difference. It can hold 30 pounds and is extremely sturdy and substantial. I’ll be able to use it year after year to create a holiday garland, and I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to put together my hanging garland.<\/h2>\n

First, I set up the rod high enough to decorate it while standing. I used two garlands and twisted them a few times over the tension rod. Notice how I started high on the left side and then the right side is swagged down a little. I secured the garland to the rod in a couple of spots with zip ties<\/a> just to be sure they didn’t slide off.<\/p>\n

\"decorating<\/p>\n

Then I went in with a few of my favorite faux orange and berry picks, and hung a pretty decorative bell and velvet ribbon using a stocking hanger<\/a>. I also added a few nutcracker ornaments<\/a> as that is my theme this year! The final step is to get on a ladder and lift your rod with the garland up near the ceiling.<\/p>\n

The results are so stunning!<\/em><\/p>\n
