How I Grasp Garland on our Range Hood, Mantel and Staircase!

Learn how to Grasp Garland on the Range Hood

For my range hood garland I purchased these hooks which have a sticky again. I put one hook on all sides of the hood on the flat ledge (though you could possibly put it anyplace relying on the type of your hood). I’ve performed this for the previous two years and it has labored completely!

You possibly can’t actually see or discover the hook a minimum of on mine since they’re white and since it will get coated by the garland (you possibly can fluff the branches up and round it if it reveals a bit of bit)

Oftentimes garland could have loops on one or each side, so what I do is tie a bit of twine or heavy obligation string round that so I can then tie the string onto the hook. It’s also possible to typically loop the garland proper onto the hook. The necessary factor is to ensure it gained’t fall down so that you wish to do two issues:

Comply with the producers directions on attaching the hooks. The realm needs to be clear and never have any oil residue on it. You’ll additionally wish to make sure that the adhesive is firmly hooked up based on the bundle directions earlier than hanging any garland on it.

And secondly, ensure you’ve tied your string or twine tightly so it can not come undone.

I’ve by no means had mine fall down from the hood, I believe for just a few causes:

1) I solely use a light-weight garland and

2) my hood has a ledge that I can connect the hook too which helps maintain the burden and

3) I’m cautious to make use of the correct of hook for the job and in following the producer directions for the hooks to make sure it’s firmly hooked up (which suggests cleansing the floor first to ensure there’s no oil!).

For our mantel I’ve used these identical hooks I discussed above, putting them on high of the mantel in direction of the again in a number of locations so I can tie the garland onto it. Utilizing three or 4 hooks is finest so you possibly can distribute the burden evenly.

It’s also possible to place nails at an angle in spots that may be one other sturdy place to tie a string with garland onto. If the holes could be seen later ensure you can simply fill them.

The opposite approach I hold garland on our mantel is to not connect it in any respect! This isn’t at all times the perfect plan particularly in case you have lots of garland or need it to drape down.

Nonetheless in case your mantel is vast sufficient, your garland isn’t too heavy, and also you don’t need a lot to hold down, you possibly can typically simply lay it throughout the mantel.

A number of positives of garland merely laying up on the floor of the mantel and never hanging down in swags throughout the entrance of the hearth are: it’s safer particularly with canine and children (they aren’t as prone to pull it down which has positively occurred at our home), it’s much less prone to soften or be a fireplace hazard (in case you have fires in your fire!), and also you don’t have to break the mantel or wall.

Hooks will doubtless make it really feel safer although so if unsure, I’d get these hooks. One factor to notice concerning the hooks round a sizzling fire is it will probably soften the adhesive so I wouldn’t wish to hold them the place that may occur. Up on the mantel away from the warmth or on the aspect could be finest.

I do know some folks use various kinds of hooks to safe their stockings (like these mantel hooks).

We have now stocking holders for show however we often don’t maintain ours up on the mantel for lengthy as a result of our canine have pulled them down earlier than!

I’m positive different folks have numerous good concepts and use particular staircase garland ties like these!) for hanging garland on a staircase, however truthfully I simply tie ours on with ribbons or twine! 🙂 Fancy, sure? Though I’m tempted although to get these garland ties!

Our staircase may be very small. We maintain the decor fairly easy, so I don’t have lots of heavy garland hold, however right here’s what I do.

I safe it on the high of the handrail with a ribbon or twine so it will probably’t fall ahead off the railing, and additional down the handrail I tie it once more with one other ribbon anyplace it should swoop, and once more I tie a ribbon to carry it up on the newel submit.

You possibly can simply pull a few of the greenery round to attempt to conceal the ribbon or twine from view on the entrance aspect, however I don’t thoughts it if it’s twine or ribbon that works with our type. However on the bottom of the railing you possibly can see the place the ribbons are tied over the railing, which doesn’t trouble me however assume these ties would look tidy and particularly in case you have a extra grand or formal open staircase the place the ribbons could be seen extra.
