Adorn Staircase with Garland and Stockings

What happens in this clip

Attach a frosted or snow-dusted green garland along the staircase railing, intertwining it with small string lights. Incorporate pink floral accents or berries into the garland to match other room decor. Hang several white or neutral-colored Christmas stockings from the railing. On individual steps or landings, arrange a collection of plush and decorative figurines, such as a plush deer, a small snowman, a miniature gingerbread house, and a white snowflake plush. Ensure figurines are stable and not a tripping hazard, as shown between 0:05.158 and 0:07.958.

Goal: Drape a frosted garland with lights along the staircase railing, hang white stockings, and place various festive figurines on the steps for a cozy, winter wonderland feel.
