Garland
You can't have a holiday mantle without the right garland! Holiday garlands are available in varying sizes. You want to be sure you get one that is large enough for your space and fits with your theme. Here are a few examples of garlands you might want to consider adding to your holiday mantle.

Greenery Garland
This is a popular choice for those who enjoy a more natural look. You can find seasonal greenery garland or faux silk greenery that looks very realistic and will last throughout the holiday season!
Felt Ball Garland
This is an excellent choice for those who want to be festive without going too over the top. You can find felt ball garland in any color or shade you need. Plus, it's easy to clean and reuse each year!
