  4. Secure the garland in place with garland ties.

Tips:

  • If you want to use a different color of lights, choose one that will complement your home's décor.
  • You can also use different types of garland, such as pine boughs or twinkle lights.
  • Be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions for the lights to make sure that you don't overload the circuit.
