Step 3 · Attach Garland to Banister

Begin attaching the garland to the banister, starting at one end (often the top or a newel post). Use floral wire or specialized garland ties to secure the garland. Wrap the wire or tie around the garland and then around a sturdy part of the banister, such as a newel post, the top of a baluster, or a flat section of the handrail. Space these attachment points evenly, typically every 12-18 inches, depending on the garland's weight and how well it holds its shape. Ensure the ties are snug but not so tight that they damage the banister's finish or the garland itself. Aim to hide the ties within the garland's foliage.
