The right way to Dangle Garland on the Range Hood
For my range hood garland I purchased these hooks which have a sticky again. I put one hook on both sides of the hood on the flat ledge (though you could possibly put it anyplace relying on the type of your hood). I’ve finished this for the previous two years and it has labored completely!
You possibly can’t actually see or discover the hook at the very least on mine since they’re white and since it will get coated by the garland (you’ll be able to fluff the branches up and round it if it reveals a bit of bit)
Oftentimes garland may have loops on one or either 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. You may also typically loop the garland proper onto the hook. The necessary factor is to verify it gained’t fall down so that you need to do two issues:
Comply with the producers directions on attaching the hooks. The world must be clear and never have any oil residue on it. You’ll additionally need to make sure that the adhesive is firmly hooked up in response to the bundle directions earlier than hanging any garland on it.
And secondly, be sure to’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 feel for a number of 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 load and
3) I’m cautious to make use of the proper of hook for the job and in following the producer directions for the hooks to make sure it’s firmly hooked up (which implies cleansing the floor first to verify there’s no oil!).
The right way to Dangle Garland on a Mantel
For our mantel I’ve used these identical hooks I discussed above, putting them on prime 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’ll be able to distribute the load evenly.
You may also place nails at an angle in spots that might be one other sturdy place to tie a string with garland onto. If the holes could be seen later be sure to can simply fill them.
The opposite manner I dangle garland on our mantel is to not connect it in any respect! This isn’t at all times the perfect plan particularly when you’ve got a variety of garland or need it to drape down.
Nevertheless in case your mantel is huge sufficient, your garland isn’t too heavy, and also you don’t need a lot to hold down, you’ll be able to typically simply lay it throughout the mantel. I love to do easy issues. My mantel is definitely very shallow so it’s not very best however I make it work!
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 fireside 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 hearth hazard (when you’ve got fires in your hearth!), and also you don’t have to break the mantel or wall.
Hooks will possible make it really feel safer although so if unsure, I’d get these hooks. One factor to notice in regards to the hooks round a scorching hearth is it will possibly soften the adhesive so I wouldn’t need to dangle them the place that might occur. Up on the mantel away from the warmth or on the facet could be finest.
I do know some individuals 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 preserve ours up on the mantel for lengthy as a result of our canine have pulled them down earlier than!

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