Draping Your Doorway: The Basics

No other outdoor décor welcomes the season as universally as garlands and wreaths. These items are easy to hang and create instant holiday cheer. Choices range from fresh greenery to elaborately embellished and prelit faux varieties. Better-quality artificial Christmas greenery is strikingly realistic, easy to maintain, and lasts for seasons. If you like the sparkle of lights, the convenience of pre-lit greenery cannot be overstated. Some of these collections are even battery-operated, so that you don't have to hassle with cords. Regardless of style, most of garlands are six feet long. Be sure to measure your door; you'll need at least three six-foot garlands to decorate one door. Check cord lengths and power requirements before you buy to be sure that you have all the necessities on hand.
