Most people think that when it comes to artificial wreaths and garlands that there is no way that you can go wrong. Sadly, they are mistaken and usually the ones that pay for this mistake. With this being said, we have the four mistakes that are common when using artificial wreaths and garlands in your home. Knowing what mistakes are made can ensure that you are not making the same mistakes when using this décor item throughout your home.
1. Not securing these when hanging these artificial wreaths and garlands.
There are tons of people who find that the tape that they use to hang these is not going to hold up. Instead, many people are using small wire or even zip ties to secure the garland in place. They also use a wreath hanger on the door to ensure that this stays in place even with the door opening and closing.
2. Simply hanging these up without making sure that the wreaths and garlands are fluffed.
Too many times people take these out of storage and the items have been squished, resulting in these looking a little worn. Take the time to make sure that they look in pristine shape so the end result is beautiful.
3. Not wrapping garland tight on items when outdoors.
While you can always have this hang a bit to make an arch, you will find that the tighter that you wrap this, the better it will handle the outdoor elements. When this is wrapped loose, while you may secure it, it may look as good as you would have imagined.
4. Getting a wreath that is too big for your door.
This is a huge mistake and often results in the wreath falling off the door or being a nuisance when trying to open or shut the door. Be aware that there are different sizes out there, so get the one that is going to work best for your door and entryway.
