2 x 6 ft · hanging hook on each · plain green, nothing sheds
Your mantel looks flat because you bought one
Every amateur mantel has the same problem and it isn’t the greenery — it’s the quantity. One length laid along the top reads as a thin green line. Decorators lay a base layer and then a second garland over it, which is what turns a line into a swag with depth.
They talk about it openly: “I’d definitely use that as a base layer… then you can mask some of the unrealistic greenery with another layered garland.” People build that look one garland a year. This is both layers, in one box.
Same mantel, same shotOne garland, then two


The question every tutorial gets“How do you attach it so it doesn’t all fall off?”
There’s a hook built into each end
Most garlands are just a length of wired greenery with nothing to hang them by, which is why that question is in the comments of every mantel video ever posted.
Each of these has a twisted wire loop worked into the end. Put a small adhesive hook or a nail where you want it, drop the loop over, and the weight is held at a fixed point instead of relying on the whole thing balancing.
On a brick fireplace a heavy-duty adhesive hook on the mortar line. On a painted wood mantel a small cup hook underneath the front edge where nobody sees it. On a banister the loop over the newel post, then floral wire or clear zip ties every couple of feet. Around a window or door two hooks at the top corners and let it swag.
Plain green, on purposeNo snow, no berries, no lights
Why that’s the right call
- Flocked and snowed greenery sheds constantly — and gets everywhere
- Plain green takes any ribbon colour you already own
- Add your own lights, baubles, dried orange slices, whatever
- It isn’t locked to one year’s colour scheme
- Works past Christmas — it’s just cedar
What you’re not getting
- No fairy lights — you add your own, and you’ll want warm white
- No berries, pine cones or ribbon in the box
- No snow or frost effect
- It won’t look “finished” straight out of the packaging
- The photos on this page with lights in them show lights we added
The bit nobody warns you aboutIt arrives flat. Ten minutes fixes it.


How to do it
Work along the length with both hands. Pull each spray away from the main stem and fan it out so the foliage points in every direction rather than lying flat on one plane. Bend a few upwards, a few down. Ten minutes for the pair.
We’re telling you now rather than letting you open the box and think you’ve been sent a dud. This is what “it looked sparse” reviews are, in every listing in this category.

And down the middle of the table
Laid along the centre of a dining table it works as a runner, which is probably the easiest thing on this list because it needs no fixing at all.
Keep it clear of candles — see the safety note further down, we mean it.
Fresh cedar, honestlyReal cedar is lovely. It’s also a job.
We’re not going to pretend fresh isn’t better to look at in week one, because it is, and it smells like the actual thing. But fresh cedar wants soaking before you hang it, drops needles on your floor from about day ten, browns at the tips by New Year and goes in a bin bag in January.
This doesn’t shed, doesn’t need water, and goes back in a tub for eleven months. If you’ve got the time and you love the smell, buy fresh — genuinely. If you’d rather do it once and be done, this is the trade.
Storing it
Coil each garland loosely — not tight — into a plastic tub rather than folding it, and don’t stack heavy boxes on top. It’ll need fluffing again next December, same as the first time.
The short versionWhat you’re getting
Twelve feet total
Two garlands, 6 ft (180 cm) each. Base layer and top layer in one box.
Hook on each end
A twisted wire loop worked in, so there’s something to actually hang it by.
Nothing sheds
No flocking, no fake snow. Nothing on your floor, nothing on the dog.
Out again next year
Coil it into a tub in January. It isn’t a one-season purchase.
In their own wordsWhat people ask, every single year
“How do you attach your garland to the mantel so that everything doesn’t fall off?”
“I’d definitely use that as a base layer… then you can mask some of the unrealistic greenery with another layered garland.”
“Last year I purchased a full of ‘snow’ greenery, and that stuff got everywhere — yuk!”
“I love your strategy of acquiring one new, realistic garland each year.”

Let's be straight with youWhat this is, and what it isn’t
It is not real cedar. Close up, in daylight, you can tell — that is true of every artificial garland ever made, including the expensive ones. It photographs and reads best layered, and at night with lights in it.
It arrives compressed and needs fluffing. Ten minutes with both hands. If you skip that step it will look sparse and you’ll think you were sent the wrong thing.
Nothing is included except the greenery. No lights, no ribbon, no berries, no hooks or nails for the wall. The hanging loop is on the garland; what you hang it from is up to your wall.
Draped over a working fireplace is a real fire risk. This is plastic foliage. Keep it well clear of a lit fire, candles, heaters and bulbs that get hot — and please read the safety note at the bottom of this page rather than skipping it.

Three crosses in our own column. Fresh cedar smells like Christmas and ours never will — and if you want it lit straight out of the box, buy a pre-lit one instead.
4.6 / 5 — 1,940 verified reviewsWhat buyers say
Two layers changed the whole mantel. Wish I’d known that years ago.

The hook. That’s it. That’s the review.

No fireplace so I ran it along the TV console. Looks great.

Customer reviews4.6 out of 5
I’ve been buying one garland at a time for years and wondering why mine never looked like the photos.


Adhesive hook on the mortar, loop over it, done. Ten minutes for the whole fireplace.

Console under the TV and across the window. Nobody has said ‘where’s your fireplace’ once.

They warn you and they’re right. Fifteen minutes of fluffing and it was full. Just don’t skip it.

I use gold one year and red the next. Snowy garland would have locked me in.

30Day guaranteeFluff it, hang it, look at it
Give it the ten minutes of fluffing and put it where you actually want it. If it isn’t full enough or it isn’t what you hoped, send it back within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Seasonal doesn’t mean final sale here.

Questions? We've got answersFrequently asked questions
How long is it?
Each garland is 6 ft (180 cm) and you get two, so 12 ft of greenery in total. For a standard mantel, both layered on the same mantel is the intended look — not one on the mantel and one somewhere else.
How do I hang it?
There’s a twisted wire loop built into the end of each garland. Adhesive hook on a mortar line for brick, a small cup hook under the front lip of a wooden mantel, over the newel post plus floral wire for a banister, two hooks at the top corners for a window or door.
Does it come with lights?
No. Plain green only — no lights, no berries, no ribbon, no flocking. That’s deliberate so you can add whatever suits your colour scheme, and it means nothing sheds. Warm white lights woven through are what most people add.
Why does it look sparse when it arrives?
Because it’s compressed for shipping, like every artificial garland. Work along it with both hands separating the sprays and fanning them in all directions. Ten minutes for the pair and it doubles in volume.
Can I use it outside?
Under cover only — a porch roof or a sheltered doorway. It isn’t sold as a weatherproof outdoor product, so don’t leave it in rain, snow or full sun for a whole season.
Can I put it over a fireplace I actually light?
Only with real care. It’s plastic foliage: keep it well clear of the firebox opening, of any flame, of candles and of hot bulbs, and don’t leave it unattended near a lit fire. Read the safety note at the bottom of this page.
Will it hold a shape?
Fan the sprays out in different directions and it holds a full rounded shape. How much it drapes into a deep swag depends on how you hang and secure it — wire or clear zip ties at a couple of points give you control over the curve.
Will it store for next year?
Yes, and that’s the point. Coil each one loosely into a plastic tub rather than folding it, don’t crush it under heavy boxes, and expect to fluff it again next December.
Are the two garlands identical?
They’re the same product from the same set, which is what makes them layer cleanly. Minor natural-looking variation between them is normal and helps rather than hurts.
When should I order?
Seasonal stock sells through and carriers slow down in December. If you want it up at the start of the month, order well before the last week of November.
What’s shipping like?
Orders ship within 24–48 hours with tracking, typically 5–7 business days in the US.
