Embellished Pine Garland
Soften a mantel or doorways with garlands enhanced with natural touches. Unfold the artificial pine garland branches so it looks more natural. Bend the garland in half and twist the two sections together to double the thickness. Tuck natural clippings from around the yard into the garland, using the wired branches to hold them into place. Hammer finish nails on either side of the doorway molding to hold the garland. Embellish the corners with ribbon for the finishing touch.
