To make the garland shown below on my front porch and in this post for less than half the price of the Pottery Barn garlandI purchased this lit garland from Lowes. Its 9 feet long so two were all I needed and they were  just long enough to wrap three times around each column. Tip Make sure the garland you buy to use outside is certified for outdoor use. To verify the length garland you will need to purchase, take a long string or rope and wrap it around your columns. Nine foot long garland just barely worked for mine. If you wish to wrap your garland around more than 3 times, you may need additional garland. Also, I bought lit garland but you can find the unlit garland for even less. If you have lit garland, before you begin to put the ornaments on, plug your garland in and test it to make sure the lights work. You dont want to get it fully decorated and find that you have a faulty garland. I stretched mine out across my kitchen counter to work on it. It took me around 4. This is fun to do while watching t. I purchased plastic ornaments because thats what they used to make the PB garland. Glass ornaments would not hold up to temperatureweather changes very well. I bought the ornaments at discount stores Old Time Pottery and Dollar Tree. Secret Of Mana Enhanced Patch. In the close up pics on the PB site, you can see their garland is covered with shiny and satin finish ornaments. So I bought shiny and satin ornaments, too. Also, I bought ornaments that look as if they are covered in glitter. It took 7 boxes each containing 2. Mindjet Mindmanager For Windows. Old Time Pottery, and two tubes of ornaments from Dollar Tree 1 each to completely cover my two garlands. Thats around 1. 80 2. To attach the ornaments, I used some green coated twist type wire I already had. I think I bought it years ago in a garden store. It was a little brighter green than I would have preferred, but I already had it and I knew it would be hidden by the ornaments and greenery on the garland. You can just see the wire on the counter to the right of the ornaments in the picture below. Before you get started, if you have a glue gun, plug it in nearby. Occasionally you are going to have a plastic ornament pop loose from its top. If an ornament pops out, just use a little hot glue and reattach it. More on that in a secStart by spreading out the branches on your garland. Youll only need to attach the ornaments to the top side since youll want it nice and flat on the other side to wrap around your columns or wherever youll be decorating. Its best to attach your biggest ornaments first. I initially used some really large ornaments but I decided later they were out of proportion to the rest of the ornaments and I took them off. Medium, small and very small ornaments work best for creating the PB look. The smallest ornaments I used were the ones I found at Dollar Treethey came in tubes. Spread out the colors To get the different typescolors evenly spaced out, I placed them on or near the garland where I wanted them before wiring them. I first took all the shiny reds and spaced them out and attached them. Then I took all the shiny silver ornaments and spaced them out along the garland and attached them. I continued that process until all the ornaments were attached. Attaching the ornaments I attached the ornaments to the center of the garland with the green wire. Some will fall naturally to the left, some to the rightso that will give it a nice look. On one garland, I cut off the excess wire as I went along. When I worked on the second garland, I decided to attach all of the ornaments firstthen I flipped the garland over and cut off all the excess green wire at one time. In this pic below, you can see the excess wire. While you are wiring on the ornaments, this gives you an opportunity to use the wire to pull in the lighting wire a little tighter to the center of the garland. In other words, if the lighting wire is sort of sticking out on your lit garland, pull it inward when you wire on your ornaments for a nicer look when finished. You can see how I did that in this pic below. Heres how it looked after I snipped it off. You dont have to cut that closely. I just didnt want to risk scratching the paint on my columns. If you leave your wire a little longer, just turn it inward toward the ornament so you dont scratch your columns. Update  Ive used this garland for two years on my columns and Im happy to report, there hasnt been any problem with scratches. As you work, occasionally an ornament will pop out of its top or the plastic top might break. Just reattach with a little hot glue and youre good to go. Here are a few pics I took after I was finished. I later removed the really large ornament balls and replaced them with medium size balls. The garland I purchased from Lowes had these long wire pieces on the end. Since my columns are pretty fat, it helped to stretch my garland a bit so I could wrap each column with just one 9ft. I used the 3. M hooks that are supposed to be easy to remove to attach the garland to the column. Update When it rained, the 3. M hooks let go of the pole. So I hammered a skinny little nail into the top of the pole above the decorative ring that goes around the top of the column. I hooked the end of the garland onto the nail and it has held perfectly all season. Update 2. 01. 4 I didnt remove the nail and have left the nail there since it isnt very tall or noticeable and I continue to use it year after year for hanging the garland. Heres a close up of one section on the columnwish Id pulled that silver ornament up out from under the greenery before I took the picture. Why do we always notice this stuff after we take pics I ran into a little snag when plugging in my garland. The plugs on the garland I used only had narrow slits and my extension cords all had the prongs where one side is big and one side is little. Build Plan Kit Wheel Pottery.
