This is a super easy way to make a really cheap garland look more expensive. They were originally $2.99 a piece, but I caught them on a half off day, so they were just $1.50 each! I originally bought 7 of them, and had to go back and get a couple more to finish off my garland, but they seriously made such a difference in the over all look! To attach them to the main garland, I wrapped the bendable, wire stem around the wire part of the garland, and used the branches of the garland to cover up any of the wire that was showing. That is where the wreath picks come in! I found these individual pine wreath picks shown below at Hobby Lobby. It is classic, realistic, and good quality, so I know I will be able to use this for years to come! While I do love the simplicity, I felt like it needed just a little more detail and dimension to give it that designer look, hence, the bells! Both of these sets of bells were DIYs (you can see how I did them in this blog post) and were super affordable designer dupes! The longer door hanger shown in the first photo is a set of black bells from Joann’s that I spray painted, and they were on sale for $7.99 when I got them! The smaller set of two bells are from Michael’s and were on sale for $4.99 when I got them! Both were spray painted with Rustoleum’s Satin Bronze Metallic Spray Paint ($6.99). It’s the same wreath, but just shown with two different sets of bells! Our wreath came from Marshalls and was $29.99. Okay, so you’ve probably noticed two different wreath looks throughout this post. If you hang around here long enough, you’ll quickly realize I’m all about finding ways to get a designer look for less, and our Christmas porch design was no different!
