From How to Hang Christmas Garland on a Staircase Banister Without Damage, Step 5: Add Embellishments (Optional)
After placing the embellished bows on the staircase garland, the creator adds string fairy lights to complete the look. She uses battery-operated fairy lights with multiple functions, purchased from Sam's Club, and weaves them through the garland. She mentions considering using one or two strands depending on the desired brightness. This step provides a warm, inviting glow to the decorated banister.

0:13 [Music] hey guys so in today's video I'll be decorating my entryway table and then I'll be adding some finishing touches to my Garland and if weather permits I'll share a little bit of the front porch the Garland is in in place and I have two different garlands on the banister and they both are from Walmart they are two different kinds and they're also two different colors so don't be afraid to mix the garlands I think that makes it look more realistic when they're mixed but it is okay to just use one type but I just wanted to mix mine just to get a little variation
1:00 [Music] so my handrail runs all the way across the second floor but I'm only going to decorate this long rail here and so when you walk in your eye is focused at eye level and so no one really looks up top and so I just don't bother decorating that area and so I start at the top and then I make a loop and then I attach it at the center of the rail with some pipe cleaner and then I just drape it over the end piece and down the [Music]
1:47 front Okay so I have my ribbon and I'm going to go ahead and make a bow and I couldn't decide if I wanted to use the gold or the brown I have a lot of gold that will be on the table so I'm going to opt for the brown and if I don't like it then I'll change to the gold but um I think the brown is prettier I did get this gold ribbon from Hobby Lobby and it's just not the best quality in my opinion for making a bow okay so now I'm going to make the bow and I'm just going to make a simple really simple bow I'm going to deter the size of the loops that I want and I think that looks
2:33 pretty good and then I'm going to take my tails and drape it over the bow leaving the Tails pretty even at the bottom like [Music] so now sometimes you can staple the bow so that you make sure that the bow doesn't come a loose but I'm not going to do that step I think I have enough overlap that it won't come
3:19 apart now right here is where you can go ahead and tie your [Music] Loop and then once you get everything in place go ahead and tighten your knot so you put your pipe cleaner through and you can go ahead and twist your pipe cleaner and go ahead and tighten your bow make sure your bow is nice and [Music] tight and then fluff your bow fluff your tails and then you're ready to place it on your Garland okay so I want to embellish the the bow with a [Music] little added
4:11 decor and I'm just putting them all together and I'm just tying them into the pipe cleaner that I use to tie the ribbon and then once I get them all tied together with the pipe cleaner I'll add it to the uh railing okay so this is how it's looking so far and I'll do the same here and on the top but when it comes to the bottom one I like to make it a little larger like twice the size so let's get these first two in place and then I'll work with the bottom okay and so this is how it's looking so far and then as far as the
4:57 one in the front I did add add a little bit more embellishments to it then now I'm going to add the little fairy lights and so I have these lights that I got from Sam's Club last year and they have about I think eight different functions and um yeah I'm just going to place one little strand on the or I may do two I'm not sure but I'm going to put these on and I'll show you what they look like once I get everything everything together so for now let's go ahead and decorate the table okay so now let's get the table ready and if any of you are wondering yes I did get a new table well not
5:43 exactly I found this base in Goodwill and it was black and gold when I found it and I just added the tabletop that was originally here with the other table and then I painted the both of them in the same color to look as one you guys know how I do it so this table base cost me um let me think I think $10 because they originally wanted $19 for it so it sat in Goodwill for a few weeks and then one day I went in on the half price day and then I picked it up so I'm going to add
6:30 add a little fur piece because I just want to add a little texture to the table it's a neutral color and some of the other items are neutral and so I just want to add a little texture okay so next I'm going to add this round tray that I got from Goodwill I think in the [Music] summer now this is a um battery operated tree it does light up but I don't generally turn it on okay so next I have a few more trees that I'm going to add and um some candles and then we're going to finish
7:17 [Music] up around midnight way up high there's an angel in the sky the glitter and the shine she must be divine what a night what a sight ring the bells loud out and clear have the
8:04 reindeers reappear take my hand you promised land here we go I have wished upon a star I've sent my wishes far to get you in every way I had given up hope when the snow started falling but then I knew it was you around midnight way up
8:52 high there's an angel every night take my hand you promised land here we [Music] go
10:04 [Music] I have wished up a star I've sent my wishes far to get you in every way
