Start with a 6-foot garland. Cut off 2 feet to make it 4 feet long (this size is great for shipping and packaging).

Fluff the garland to give it some volume. Focus on separating the branches so it looks fuller.

Cut the stems to size, leaving about 1 inch below the wire wrapping to prevent unraveling.

Place the stems at intervals across the garland, alternating their direction (leaves pointing left and right).

Use the garland ties to secure each stem. Fluff out the leaves for a natural, full look.

Alternate red and silver maidenhair fern sprays for balance.

Add one spray per foot of garland. Tie them in using the garland ties where the magnolia leaves are secured.

Fluff the fern sprays to ensure they add texture and dimension.

Ribbon Tails:

Cut six ribbon tails, each 16-17 inches long, from the 4-inch red-and-white stripe ribbon.

Dovetail the ends of each ribbon for a polished look.

Attach them evenly throughout the garland using the garland ties.

Ribbon Loops:

Use the crackle red ribbon to make loops and rollercoasters.

Measure 11 inches for each loop, creating 5.5-inch loops.

Add tails and rollercoaster sections between the loops to create movement.

Repeat the pattern symmetrically on both sides of the garland.

Alternate between red and silver poinsettias, using one per foot of garland.

Attach them securely with the garland ties or zip ties.

Fluff the petals to give them a realistic look and ensure even spacing.

Use candy apple red ornaments to fill in gaps.

Attach the ornaments using pipe cleaners or zip ties to secure them to the garland.

Place ornaments in a balanced triangular pattern for visual interest.

Use the remaining ribbons to create a large bow for the garland's center.

Make four loops with the crackle red ribbon (two on each side).

Add two smaller loops with the red-and-white stripe ribbon.

Secure the bow with a zip tie and attach it to the garland's middle point.

Flip the garland over and zip-tie all stems, sprays, and ornaments to ensure they stay in place.

Tighten the zip ties carefully to prevent damage to the decorations.
