  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.

No matter how you choose to decorate, your staircase is sure to be the focal point of your home this holiday season.
