0:10 [Music] hey guys welcome back to the kinwoven home today we are going to be showing you guys all the things that we did to make the staircase so beautiful as you guys saw yesterday i took you through the whole house now i'm gonna break it down for you guys bit by bit show you the steps on how we put this beautiful thing together if you guys missed the house tour go back and watch it from yesterday and also make sure you take a peek because what did you post yesterday i posted my new home away from home i posted the guest bedroom which in this house is quite a lovely lovely room i have a suite yes and remember we're uploading new christmas videos every single day this week so tomorrow the next day there will be new videos on how we decorated every square inch of this house and right now is a good time to subscribe to this channel if you're not already subscribed hit the little bell button so that you're notified every

0:57 time there's a new video that goes up and like the video because why not it's christmas what's not to love we should have a question for this video what should we ask them um what is your favorite christmas song that's the question of the video i like a holy night especially the way my son does it him and celine dion without further ado though let's get started on today's video okay so the first tip for decorating a staircase so do we want that to kind of come around swag around like that and here you need to figure out the direction and the pattern that

1:42 you want to create with your garland [Music] all right how's that swag does it look the same size does that look good does it look right there's a lot of different ways you can put a garland on a staircase you want to kind of play around with it don't commit to one way until you've kind of seen what the options are and you can kind of see what looks best for the style that you're trying to achieve right right here no no is that it right there up or down you look good up there all right got it so right here we have this beautiful frosted garland this year it is the same one that we used on the mantle so it is battery operated which is great that can't be comfortable you could come down from upstairs and say little darling

2:27 doesn't it look like it's a boa so you guys can put the garland straight up you can even put the garland on the bottom part of the stairs i know my mom has done that in some of her previous christmas decorating moments in her home for this particular application we really wanted to achieve the swagged look so we have this beautiful moment that kind of swags down here and it drapes down the front and then it goes kind of every other all the way up the staircase kind of lay it on see what it looks like step back maybe take a picture and see which pattern you kind of like the best for us we love the swag look so then we moved on to number two here we go look how that ended up just right right [Music] [Applause]

3:13 now number two once you figure out the pattern that you like then you want to attach it to the banister [Music] you can use floral wire but sometimes that'll scratch the wood if you have you know a delicate situation you may not want to use something so sharp we used ribbon this year and i actually kind of liked it because we incorporated the bow into the design here sherra hold it like this like a spool and i'll make all the cuts your depth perception should invalidate you from being able to be the cutter [Music] okay scout can you hear me a ribbon yeah i need that ribbon right by you are your eyes open pick it down the lashes

3:58 are too heavy just get it and give it to me okay sorry i asked well if she goes down and gets one i'll be super impressed sometimes you can actually use the actual wired branches of it and kind of wire it on if it's not too heavy i guess we can just tie it to the spindles so that it don't say fine does it look good from your perspective elena that's fine [Music] but just figure out a way to attach it make it secure and then move on to step number three they make it sound like i'm hard to live with no just hard to please and then now we gotta string lights all the way through these suckers

4:44 step number three is they added the lights throughout if you guys have seen any of our christmas decorating videos over the years you know that we love lights they truly make your christmas decorations come to life and as my mom always says if something if you step back and something isn't right with the way that it looks you probably need to add another strand of being lights yay thank you [Music] and then there's a little bit of shortage of lights up at the top so if there's excess okay we can pull we don't have to use it all [Music] we added not one strand of lights we added some twinkle led lights that kind

5:29 of go throughout and we also added some incandescent white christmas tree lights and that added just a little bit of a pop of color but also some warmth into this beautiful garland that we have here and it just brings it to life and adds the extra umph that you're going to need to kind of make your staircase banister oh wow one thing i've noticed over the years is more lights from this perspective is better than the top because that's where you're going to see them the most unless you're a guest there's strongest guests throwing curveballs i was just going to say that exact same thing those darn guests through be related so can woven ken woven [Applause] [Music]

6:19 nice love that okay number four once everything's secured and lit up now is the time to start at the base kind of at your focal point [Music] so obviously we have the flocked garland and we filled it with this beautiful plaid fabric and just tied a simple bow i want to do what we did with the tree and do a bunch of different options that's how i come up with what i'm going to do for example this could be a bow here where it looks like it's kind of swept away i do think the bow needs to be right in

7:06 the front here yeah yes i think that's a great bow placement and then behind it i backed it with this really beautiful green velvet here's your bow mother perfect would you like me to make you another yes what do you think of that a double bow oh i like that that looks nice and i just think it gives it some depth and just looks so beautiful and you guys know we are kind of the beau queens so we can do like the five thing bow or the 10 looped bow but for this application we wanted to keep it classic so we put that kind of right in the front and then we filled in with picks and different frosted berries i feel like we lose the fun shape of the garland right you want this instead

7:55 no i do like that that one is more flocked that's really pretty that looks beautiful we added throughout just at the base here this kind of organic woodsy grape vine to kind of tie in the woodsy vibe that we're trying to achieve i just want to give her another option you wrap just a little of this into it and it makes it look it makes it go with the bears i think [Music] and then we also filled in below with a few little pops of ornaments you guys know that a lot of the time my previous christmases i love the organic kind of clean christmas vibe this year we're more traditional so usually a traditional red and green you do add the the ornamental beautiful ornaments which we leaned into but we

8:41 still kept it really classic and just i don't know beautiful keeps coming to mind i know there's more words than that but i think it looks beautiful and then of course we added a few pinecones and a fauxhawked bird what about this guy no i don't i don't like cartoons he's so cute you could have him now beyond this step number four where you make your big grand moment from there every time that the garland attaches to your banister you want to have what we call a mini moment and now this is step number five

9:27 so for our mini moments our step number five we do smaller version of the big moment [Music] we're going to need all of our connecting points usually is where we do it does that look good let's see maybe like like here try it up higher oh i actually i like that i like that what do you think shira so if you see this big bow here had it been here it would have felt too repetitive too soon yeah i like that because then we can skip this we can put something else fun right here it just felt like maybe too much to have the two big bows right next to each other great good job tyler so we have a little bird house that has that same kind of plaid pattern up here now we have a repetition of that same bow it's a little bit smaller version but it's far enough away that it looks

10:14 balanced and symmetrical and not like it's shoved too close together does it look better here or here or here yeah oh pretty i'm wondering if we should make it more in the middle to do symmetry with what we have here where'd you learn about symmetry tyler good answer [Laughter] mother son bondi now put it in the corner and let me see it because i never saw it from down here no that is so much prettier classy thanks tyler

11:00 don't go away you have good input most the time [Music] i'm gonna need a glass of ice water good lord it's hot in here tyler love to get your input honey tyler are you good with this placement here help i need an answer i'm hot and as you can see up the stairs it repeats itself all the way around [Music] all right so here's the plan we are going to clean up this area down here and we're going to bring in the tree and the bears and then we're going to add the accoutrement to the rest of the garland like the ornaments and the pine cones and all the japs okay okay does that sound like plain sounds like a plan okay number six i brought back in these little decor

11:45 pieces to fill in the space [Music] i know this is a very custom tip because not everyone has the space to bring in decor right next to a banister [Music] all righty call me cape christmas tree skirt but if you do have some extra room like this is our grand entrance we really wanted to fill this open space with a christmas tree [Music] but also with my favorite thing ever look how cute these guys are are you ready for bears no rebecca needs to cut the tack off the tree she left a orange tag behind

12:31 do you see it instead if i'd been down on the floor i'd have seen it for sure whoa it's nice right yeah we need a glass of wine right here and television right there and this would be the perfect christmas spot hey do their legs bend ouch oh oops i don't think it looks so cute so real okay this is tyler and look he has a tie and this is me and i have a little uh headband bow and then this is square and then behind it we have this beautiful tree from shinoda and we just kept it simple and clean like a tree right out of the forest with some lights on

13:21 really the point of this step is to bring in anything else that you have that you want to put next to the garland and then step back and assess do i need to add anything that's going to really tie the two stories together to make it one cohesive moment [Music] so number seven you want to kind of go through your garland and add in little moments to kind of bring it to life [Music] so for us we added more of these little berries and we put in these frozen iced branches which kind of gave it a little bit of like a glimmer and a shimmer there needs to be something here oh that's cute i think this one

14:08 it would be really cute if there was something that it sat on [Music] white and then just added little red ornaments um and little pops of color where needed [Music] i love these guys this is what is missing just little things like this i think make things look so pretty i think it turned out really beautiful it's very simple very elegant and just very very classic which i think was exactly the style we were going for [Music]
