What happens in this clip
Starting from either the top or bottom of the staircase, begin attaching the Christmas garland to the railing. Use floral wire, zip ties, or pipe cleaners to securely fasten the garland at regular intervals. You can wrap it spirally around the banister, drape it in elegant swags between balusters, or lay it more simply along the top of the railing, as implied by the video with the garland resting on the steps. Ensure that the garland is securely fastened so it doesn't fall or become a tripping hazard, especially if a dog like the one in the video might interact with it.
Goal: Securely fasten the garland to the staircase

Step 2 of 4: Secure Garland to Spindles or Posts
Starting from one end of the railing, use clear zip ties or floral wire to attach the garland. Wrap the zip tie or wire around a spindle or post and then around the garland's core or thicker wiring. Cinch the zip tie or twist the wire snugly, but avoid overtightening, which could crush the garland or scratch the railing. Repeat this process every 12-18 inches, or at points where the garland needs extra support to maintain its shape.
