Tinsel is a great option as a much cheaper alternative to an ornate garland. Dressed up with fairy lights and ornaments, it can look just as beautiful.
Use painter’s tape to outline the shape of the tree on your wall before starting. Painter’s tape is low-tack, so comes off easily without taking any paint off.
Then attach command hooks to the wall. It’s a good idea to use command hooks that are adjustable for up to 20 minutes.
Then tie a ribbon or string around both the command hook and tinsel. Trim excess ribbon.
Secure string lights along the tinsel with a ribbon. It helps to have the lights on to check they are evenly distributed.
Finally, attach lightweight ornaments directly onto the tinsel using ornament hooks.
This alternative tree is the perfect solution when you have limited space. Or simply want a non-traditional tree.
