What happens in this clip
Prepare the staircase banister for holiday decoration. Secure a full, natural-looking green garland to the banister, ensuring it drapes aesthetically. After the initial garland is in place, layer a lighter, more delicate green garland over it to add depth and texture. Finish by tying a red velvet ribbon around the banister and garlands at the starting newel post, creating a festive bow. Continue to adjust the garlands to create a full and balanced look.
Goal: Adorn the staircase banister with festive holiday garlands and ribbon.
