DIY: Fresh Pine Tree Garland


Christmas decorating doesn't have to cost money or time. I whipped this garland up in about 20 minutes and it's not Christnas without the smell of pine!

Supplies:

- Several trim pieces from any type of pine tree.
- Scissors
- Twine
- Nails or tacks

Instructions:

1. Soak trim pieces in water so they stay fresh longer. The more time they soak the longer they will last.
2. Arrange trim pieces so they face the same direction and overlap slightly.
3. Cut 3 inch pieces of twine and tie trim pieces together.
4. Use small nails or tacks to hang garland by the twine pieces.

Make sure you do not hang your garland near a heater vent and never use your fireplace with garland hanging over it. The closer your garland is to a heat source, the quicker it will dry outBe sure to spritz water on your garland occasionally to keep it fresh.
