How to Hang a 2.7 m Christmas Garland with LED Lights

A 2.7 m artificial pine garland with LED lights works on a front door, a fireplace, a banister, a mantel or wound through a Christmas tree. To hang it well, measure the space first, pick a firm anchor point, spread the branches by hand and lay the lights so the cable does not show. This guide takes you through each of those steps, then covers styling and gift ideas.

It is written around the Christmas Garland Wreath, a 2.7 m artificial pine rattan garland in PVC with LED lights, listed for a Christmas tree, a party, a door or a fireplace.

What the listing says

The garland is 2.7 m long and made of PVC, in an artificial pine and rattan style, with LED lights. The packed box measures 400 x 300 x 150 mm and the packed weight is 780 g. That packed size tells you it arrives compressed and will need shaping when you open it, which is true of almost every artificial garland.

Artificial Pine Rattan Christmas Garland, 2.7 m - PVC

Step one: measure the space

At 2.7 m you have a good length. A standard front door is roughly two metres tall, so a garland that long can frame it on one side and across the top, or drape across the lintel with a little left over. For a fireplace, a mantel of around 1.5 to 2 m takes the garland with a gentle swag at each end. On a banister, the length covers a good few steps.

Use a tape or a piece of string to mark the route first. Garlands look best when they hang in a gentle curve rather than a stiff line, so allow a little slack on any run.

Step two: shape the garland before you hang it

Artificial pine arrives flattened. Lay it on the floor and work along its length, pulling each branch outward and upward. Do this section by section, turning the garland as you go. A few minutes of shaping takes it from thin to full, and it matters more than any later styling.

Step three: choose how to secure it

On a door. Use removable adhesive hooks rated for the weight of the garland, or hang it over the top of an open door on a loop of ribbon. Check the weight first: the packed weight is 780 g, so a light hook suits, but test it before you leave it.
On a fireplace or mantel. Lay it along the top and tuck the ends behind the mantel edge, or use small hooks at either end. Keep it clear of any heat source, and never place it near an open flame or a working fire.
On a banister. Tie it at intervals with florist wire or ribbon, working from the top down.
On a tree. Start at the top and spiral down, tucking it into the branches so the pine and the lights blend in.

Step four: deal with the lights

Lay the lit section where it will be seen, and hide the cable run behind branches or along the back of the mantel. Check how the lights are powered from the instructions that come with the garland, and place the garland so the power source sits near an outlet or somewhere you can reach it. Switch the lights on before you finish styling so you can see how they look and move anything that casts a harsh shadow.

Styling ideas

The classic door

Hang the garland in an arch round the door frame. Add a wide red ribbon bow at the top and a few pine cones wired in. Keep colours to red, green and gold, and the look reads as traditional straight away.

The mantel

Drape the garland with a deeper swag in the middle. Add candles in glass holders beside it, stockings under it and a few baubles tucked into the branches. Keep real candles well away from the garland, or use battery tea lights instead.

The banister

Wind it round the rail with ribbon every metre or so. Alternate a bow with a bauble. It makes the staircase feel part of the room.

The tree

Use it as a ready-made garland through the branches, and let the LED lights add a layer to your tree lights. Keep the two sets the same shade of white so the glow looks even.

The party table

Run it down the centre of a long table with candles and small ornaments on top. The packed size of 400 x 300 x 150 mm is easy to store between uses.

A few cautions

Keep the garland away from naked flames, hot lamps and radiators.
Do not pull tight on the lights, and avoid bending the cable sharply.
Switch the lights off when you go out or go to bed.
If you hang it outside, check the instructions first, because not every garland is made for weather.

Who it suits as a gift

It is a good pick for someone who has just bought a house and has a bare mantel, or for a friend who loves hosting. It suits a person who decorates every year and wants to add to the set. It also makes an easy Secret Santa choice at a sensible price, because almost everyone has a door, a fireplace or a staircase that can take one.

Storing it after Christmas

Fold the garland gently into thirds, keeping the lights tucked inside, and put it back in its box or a box of similar size, around 400 x 300 x 150 mm. Store it flat and dry. When you take it out next year, the shaping step takes a couple of minutes because the branches remember their position.

Is it worth having?

A single garland of this length does the work of several small decorations. It frames a door, fills a mantel or adds a layer to a tree. Measure first, shape it well and anchor it firmly, and it holds the look through the whole season.
