With a mixed pine garland, you get a more realistic and natural look for decorating. Plus, you don’t necessarily need to buy additional accessories to achieve that festive style.
For example, this berry and pinecone swag contains a variety of different sizes, colors and shapes of needles. This adds more fullness, depth and texture.
Pro Tip: The mixed pine needles look very realistic and full (after you fluff them up). In addition, you can layer multiple garlands for a more lush, abundant look.
This versatile length (6′ long) fits on mantels, tabletops, staircase railings, doorways and more. Country Living also has some great decorating tips.
Furthermore, the flexible branches and lightweight needles make decorating almost effortless. Just make sure not to weigh down the greenery with heavy ornaments, and use sturdy clips or hooks when hanging.
Note: You can get a matching mixed pine berry wreath too.

How to Hang Pine Branches Around a Fireplace Mantel:
Watch how a professional decorator designs a holiday mantel step-by-step. First, she combines multiple swags for a more lush look (see frosted garlands).
Then, she works in layers, adding festive accessories, from large to small. Notice how she keeps everything symmetrical for a high-end look. (I suggest attaching lights before other decorations.)
In addition to lights, candles and pinecones, don’t forget things like ribbons and ornaments.
Plus, you can small decorations to the pine swag with craft wire.
Save Money with this Cheaper Garland Option:
Alternatively, you can get a less expensive Vickerman alternative that measures 9 feet long. This version doesn’t provide the variety or fullness of the greenery above. However, it costs about $20 less so you can buy warm white fairy lights.
