HOW DO YOU LADIES ATTACH YOUR GARLAND

to your fireplace mantel? It's the one thing I have a problem with especially when you add picks and ornaments. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a limestone mantle and used clear Command ""damage free"" hooks that can be removed after being used. I doubled up on the garland and have a large fireplace and these have worked great and are hidden underneath . I bought them at CVS. Lisa mentioned in one of her videos that she wraps wire around the garland and attaches it to the hooks for extra security. So far mine is holding up well by just hooking the garland straight to the hooks . I think I used 6 hooks total. Good Luck!

Well, I like quake wax ... or better yet, just anchor it with candlesticks or whatever placed on it. ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$

Thanks so much, why didn't I think of that since I just bought a few to hang photos. That's exactly what I'll do. My garland is very thick and I'm sure it will work. Thanks again.

I use Command hooks, too. Just be super careful when you remove the hooks. Hold the hook in place as you pull the sticky tab our parallel to the surface. Don't lift up on the tab as you pull because you can pull the paint off. I learned from experience... ${#emotions_dlg.mad}$
