In all honestly, if you do plan on using these artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands, you may as well look for some of these methods of hanging, as no one wants to end up with paint chipping and holes in their homes!

2. What if you want to put artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands in areas that are a bit nontraditional? If so, then why not tie it onto the item that you want to portray it on? You can use ribbon. But, many people are using tinsel to match their garland and wreath color.
3. Pipe cleaners are also one of those handy DIY craft items that many people have on hand and they can be great for tying items onto banisters or the like.

The one thing that you may want to avoid using is tape. Let’s face it, tape can cause some damage to walls and items that it touches. If you do use tape and end up wall damage, then you are going to want to repair this as soon as possible. If when removing the tape you have a residue left behind, be sure that you remove this with cleanser, and you may find that it helps you to avoid this area becoming a focal point.
Overall, don’t think that you can’t use artificial Christmas wreaths and garland because they cause damage. It is not the items that cause damage it is how they are hung. So, do your best to use these non-damaging methods to show your Christmas cheer!
