Hang your garland on a mantle that is smooth
If your mantle is smooth then the best way that I have found to hang garland is with either these Command straps for the top of your mantle or these heavy-duty hooks that can hold up to 15 lbs for the front of your mantle.
If you are hanging garland from the flat surface of your mantle, then the straps will be the best! They are rubber and really flexible and are actually designed to bundle cords together for organization.
They are pretty generous in the way they expand and can hold several items together.
I have been impressed by how well they have done at holding all of my garlands together as I layered all of the items in across my mantle. They haven’t fallen or moved!!
There are some others on the market, but most of the time you get what you pay for. These really are the best and come in a pack of 6.

How to use the garland loops
- You need to clean off the surface of the mantle from dust or any debris so the included sticky tabs can stick.
- Then you simply peel back the paper on one of the tabs to expose the sticky tape and press it onto the back of the white part of the loop. The sticky tabs are labeled so just be sure you don’t stick the “wall” side of the sticky tab to the loop.
- Once it is applied to the loop, peel back the paper side that says “wall” and press it onto the mantle where you want it to go. HOLD AND PRESS DOWN FOR 30 SECONDS to adhere it to the surface.
- It is easy to remove these after the holidays without damage!
