piece de resistance of any beautifully decorated home for the holidays is the mantle number one a garland draped along the front always a safe bet number two a big point of interest in the center that can be a piece of art it can be a mirror could be whatever number three elevation on both ends but the garland is what everyone asks about take a garment and this is my very elegant way of saying it open it up like a hoagie because you're going to want the back of one garland to meet the back of the other garment I'm going to set this down in then I take the branches and I weave it around kind of feel your way with the branches and between the pinecones and fruit and really twist it around the base of each piece so now when I lift it up it's going to stay then you take branches and twigs and you give them a little dimension and you bury them right down it and then I could take grapes I can even put pinecones in there I could take the birds I think I want Tim right there these are the pieces that make the garland they're very very easy open it like a hoagie the back of one garland meets the back of the base wind everything in put it up on the mantel gorgeous
