My rental-friendly holiday garland makes your doorways look magical, you just need an old curtain rod
A HOME expert has shared her DIY festive hack that will brighten up any home.
The decor fan demonstrated the rental-friendly trick for her followers.
In her video, Wendy (@thekwendyhome) explained: “Here’s how to hang your garland without drilling any holes.”
The Instagrammer showed her audience how to create a “damage-free garland by hanging it with a shower curtain rod.”
For her first step, Wendy took an old shower curtain rod and tightened it in a doorway at chest level.
She said: “I took the shower curtain from our guest bathroom and tested this out for myself.
“It has held up really well, I even put my heavy Norfolk pine garlands on and it didn’t budge.”
She advised viewers: “Drape and wrap your shower rod with your garland.”
Wendy continued: “You might need two for a fuller look, remember to fluff your garland.”
She also weaved twinkling lights into the DIY setup to add a festive glow to her home.
To complete the holiday decor, she recommended adding “accent ornaments or accent garlands” to the curtain rod.
Wendy then stood on a step ladder and adjusted the height of her DIY garland.
“Raise your curtain rod to the desired height and tighten it,” she explained.
Wendy concluded: “Turn on your twinkle lights and enjoy the magic.”
She pointed out: “This is perfect for renters and those who don’t want to put nails in their walls.
“An added bonus is that you don’t get a crick in your neck or get tired arms from decorating.”
Showing the finished garland, Wendy encouraged her followers to “go forth and deck those halls.”
Instagram users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the hack.
“Me, looking around my apartment right now going: ‘Where can I do this?!!'” wrote one impressed viewer.
Another follower said: “Now THIS is something a regular person can pull off! Thank you!”
“This is so clever! I’m wondering where I can do this around my apartment right now!!” commented a third person.
