Use dark zip ties for garland around railing and other places

Hanging garland can be tough, and getting it to stay in place is even harder. Zip ties will help keep your garland where you want it without messing up your railing. A dark color zip tie can blend into the garland, just be sure to trim the end!

Tuck natural clippings from your garden into napkin rings or around picture frames

Add a touch of greenery to your holiday table with something straight from your backyard! Don’t have anything from your garden to bring in? Faux floral works just as well!
