Adding Some Festive Christmas Spirit to Your Windows with a Christmas Garland

One of the easiest ways to dress up your windows is to add a garland on the curtain rod. A simple plain pine garland will work just fine. If you have pre-made garland with berries, lights and other details, you can use this type to save some time. Since it will be hanging on your curtain rod, ensure that it does not weigh too much.
Once you have your Christmas garland picked out, ensure that the length of your garland matches the length of your curtain rod. Plain, synthetic Christmas garlands are perfect for this, because they can be doubled up and are extremely bendable, which will allow you to adjust it more easily.
After you have determined that the garland will fit your curtain rod, you may begin to place the garland above the window. Depending upon how tall or wide your window is, you may want to employ the help of a sturdy chair or a second person to hols up the other end.
Begin by securing your Christmas garland to the curtain rod. Again, the flexibility of synthetic garlands is useful here, as it will allow you to bend small parts around the curtain rod to help secure it. If your Christmas garland is not flexible, you can use hooks that hang on your curtain rod and then place the garland on those hooks. Ensure not to pull down on the curtain rod too much.
Once the garland is secure, you can bend the branches and adjust it, so there aren't any bare or (in case you've just pulled it out of your Christmas storage box) flat spots. If you have an outlet nearby and want to include lights on your Christmas garland, you may add them now. Christmas lights are an intrinsic aspect of Christmas decorations and help add an especially festive feel to the room. White lights are a classic Christmas traditional decoration.
After your lights have been added, you can add more decorations, like pine cones, red poinsettia blossoms, red berry picks, or ribbon. Keep in mind the weight of your garland - don't make it too heavy!
Do you have some leftover Christmas ornaments that you couldn't fit on your tree? You can additionally hang some small Christmas ornaments from your garland. If you have several ornaments that are of the same theme, they can be more visible when grouped together and hung from the garland. You could also hang simple golden glass globes from the garland as well. Snowflake or icicle ornaments also look fantastic hanging from the garland.
And there you have it - a wonderful, festive Christmas garland to dress up your windows this Christmas.
