Holiday decorating is in full swing and we wanted to come up with something new and different this year, so we created this one-of-a-kind DIY Merry Garland. Hang the garland on your front porch for everyone to enjoy, or create this cheerful garland for your living room wall! Either way, this decoration is sure to bring Christmas cheer and makes the perfect backdrop for holiday family photos. Be sure to check out all of the Nostalgic Christmas Porch Decorating Ideas along with the coordinating faux DIY Birchwood Logs!
Take 3 Vickerman 9' Durango Spruce Christmas Garlands and connect them together. The wire in the garlands allows you to connect them to each other. Bend the garlands to spell out the word, 'merry' on the ground in front of the wall you will be hanging your garland on.
At the specific place you want the top of your letter M to hang, take an outdoor Command Hook and adhere it to your wall according to the hook instructions.
Hang the letter M using the command hooks. Bend and twist your letter M until it looks right, adding more hooks to hold it in place as you go.
Continue hanging your letter M, and follow with a letter E, and so on.
Once you've spelled out, 'Merry' on your wall, hang multiple Metal Snowflake Ornaments from your garland.
Place blankets and Holiday Buffalo Plaid Throw Pillows underneath the garland to create a cozy atmosphere. Not only is this front porch set-up visually stunning, but it also makes for a great backdrop when taking holiday family photos!
