The Everden Guide

Everything you need to get your garland from the box to the mantel, and back into the box in January.

1. Unbox and fluff

Each set holds two 9 ft garlands, folded flat. Lay one out, then work from the center stem outward: pull each branch tip away from the stem and turn it slightly so the two-tone needles face in different directions. Ten minutes per garland is normal. Fuller is better; you can always press a branch back.

2. Shape it

The wired stem bends and holds. For a mantel, drape the center first and let the ends fall, then bend the last foot of each end upward or let it hang. For a staircase, wrap the stem around the rail every two to three feet. For a front door, hang it from a wreath hook or two command hooks at the top corners. It keeps the shape you give it for the season.

3. Make it yours

Lights, ribbon, bows and ornaments are not included, so the garland arrives plain and ready to style. Weave in a string of lights before you drape it, tuck ribbon loops along the stem, and hang ornaments from the wired branch tips.

4. Indoors and out

The materials are rated for indoor and outdoor use. On a covered porch or front door it holds its color through the season. Avoid leaving it in standing water or direct heat.

5. Pack it away

In January, fold the branch tips back toward the stem, coil the garland loosely and store it flat and dry. Next year, fluff it again and it's ready.
