Decorating with fresh garland brings the scent of Christmas to your home. But it can dry quickly before the holiday is over. This can leave a mess and become a fire hazard. I'm going to show you my simple tip for keeping your garland fresher longer for more Christmas enjoyment.
1
Place your fresh garland in a large tub, laundry sink or a bathtub.
2
Fill the tub with cool water and let it soak up overnight allowing it to drink up as much moisture as it can..
3
Pull it out of the water and lay it out to dry. We hang ours over the deck railing.
4
Spray generously with an Anti-Transpirant plant product. “This coating leaves a thin film of anti–transpirant that creates a water-impermeable layer that reduces moisture loss.”
5
Hang along your stair railing, over windows, around the door, indoors or out!
