my Christmas tip

I am going to share with you a Christmas decorating tip that I have used in my house here in Arizona. I don't think it would have worked in my California house but maybe.


Ok don't judge my garland! I am really going to take the nesters adivise and spruce it up to make it look nicer, but this picture is just to give you an idea of what you can do. OK!




Ok so you are probably thinking "so what she put garland around her shelfy thingy", right. Well that is not the tip so just relax. Ü

Here is the tip, look closely!



Is that close enough? The rounded walls in my house are metal. So that means I put my garland up with magnets. I got my handy dandy hot glue gun out and glued magnets on the garland and viola NO HOLES and the garland stays up. I used about 3-4 magnets per garland. Just put one on each end and two spread out in the middle. Now to make sure you do it right you really need to get the magnets from Home Depot, they are alot stronger than the ones at Micheal's and a pack of 10 magnets are only like $3. I just love magnets. So good luck decorating, and maybe if I make my garland prettier I will show you a picture.
