NEW Christmas Garland Guide 2022 / Comparison & How To Style Garland / Christmas Decorating Ideas

[@paigerosner8574]

Well timed video! The older I get the more I realize buying high quality SLOWLY over time is the way to go. One or two good quality pieces per year adds up over time!

[@stardustgirl2904]

Yeah,I realized that to with my blenders,I just needed a Vitamix, cheap blenders can't do the job!

[@karenchan7682]

Thank you Emily love all your videos. I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby.. rest in heaven!!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Thank you

[@patriciareeps3389]

Thanks for all the comparisons. I have several garlands collected over the years. I start with the cheaper ones as a base then layer the other more expensive one on top. I have a white fireplace so the dark green really stands out

[@MommaFromScratch]

That’s wonderful and that’s the best way to do it

[@thegiftlady1]

Me too! As my base, I got 30 foot long cheapo garland at Walmart and jazzed it up. And I bought Handmade Holiday Christmas Metallic Decorative Mesh Ribbon 5.5''x30'-Red from Joanns. I bunched about 12-15" apart and fluffed, tied on at strategically selected spots and tied pine cones with wires on it. Then for my theme, I made B&W Buffalo check bows for the tied junctions. Came out gorgeous. For my mantle I get holiday sprigs in assorted greens and lay them on the mantle☆ then add accents like xmas balls, cones, cute xmas tree deco that stand, candles at different heights (☆avoiding expensive garland). Look around here and on the net for ideas you like and don't be afraid to cut something 🤣.

[@karenlauterbach7]

Thanks so much Emily. Garland brings so much warmth to a room. I like them all, especially fond of the Alaskan Cedar. So sorry you had to say goodbye to your fur baby. We said goodbye to our dog a year ago. Had him just short of 21 years. Miss him so much. They’re a big part of the family❤️

[@germainelowe5637]

😢I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Shepherd. Such a handsome dog. I appreciate the grief you are feeling, as having had our dog pass a number of years ago, one never forgets the unconditional love that your pet brought into your life. Take care.❤️

[@MommaFromScratch]

thank you, the truly are wonderful blessings

[@a.scottiedog2093]

Great video Emily. Thank you for all your hard work in putting this all together fir us. Have a blessed day! 🥰

[@christysowers9047]

Thank you Emily for this comparison video! It really helps to see them all together and styled.

[@noelleowen3622]

Thank you Emily for this video. It gave me a lot to think about in choosing a garland. Prayers to you and your family at the loss of your beautiful shepherd. I always looked for a glimpse of her in your videos. We have always had shepherds and wish they lived a much longer life. They are just furry blundles of love. 🐕‍🦺♥

[@pamgrieger9833]

I’m new to your channel and I LOVE all your decorating ideas!! So very sorry about the loss of your beautiful fur baby. They give us such love and leave their unforgettable paw prints on our hearts. 🐾 ❤️🐾

[@MommaFromScratch]

they truly do, thank you

[@denisejordan8648]

You never disappoint with your ideas and finds. Thank you for sharing.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Glad you like them!

[@MaLuDramatic]

Wow great job Emily! I wasn’t impressed with the Walmart garland when you first showed it but after you took the time to style it on your mantle I’m blown away so beautiful!!!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Like last years it just needs a good fluffing

[@nancyandrews8891]

Thank You Emily for Your ideas of decorating with Garland and Bells ! ❣️ As always Love Your Ideas Looking forward to seeing what's coming up soon.

[@deannaevans5235]

Thank you Emily for the comparison of garlands. Adding the bells was a great idea that I liked a lot. Sorry about your German Shepard :( They are family members too and I know he'll be missed by your family.

[@barbaravance6774]

Oh, no I didn't hear about her Shepherd. We miss purs desperately.

[@craftygirl4844]

I really appreciated this video! I’m wanting my fireplace garland to be the focal point and was kind of lost on how to achieve it. I loved how you showed the different colors and varieties!❤

[@MommaFromScratch]

So glad it helped

[@10KidsandAGarage]

Thank you for sharing. I don’t have many places to decorate. But we just got a tv stand and thought of using garland to decorate it. So this has been so helpful. ❤😃

[@MommaFromScratch]

That’s a great spot for it and you can hang your stocking there to

[@10KidsandAGarage]

@@MommaFromScratch great idea!

[@lisagreer9282]

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your fur baby.❤️🙏 They are truly family. My fur baby is 16 today, I have a small poodle who has been a real fighter. She had pneumonia for three months as a pup, double knee surgery at six months and back leg amputation at 6 years from cancer. We have been treating her quarterly with antibiotics for her teeth and gum infections for several years because she doesn't do well with anesthesia. The vet said since it's not working any longer he feels we need to do the cleaning November 1, with propofol and gas anesthesia. I don't want her in pain so I'm going to do a lot of praying my baby will make it.🙏❤️🙏 Thank you for your help with the garland and all your decor tips.

[@MommaFromScratch]

thank you and Im so sorry your going through that.

[@lizsanchez1847]

I love this video! So very helpful. You just gave me inspirational ideas to blend and combine some of them. Thank you again and blessings this Holiday season to you and your family.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Glad you liked it

[@lauriestrom7789]

Excellent video - so very helpful! Thank you. Just re-watched and saw the news about your dog. Losing a pet is so hard. I am so sorry. Prayers for you and your family.

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

Yay, your intro immediately drew me in. I can’t wait till Christmas. I love all the Holidays but Christmas is so special.

[@janebentrott5984]

You are right about things selling out. I have been looking for something for outside on my porch and what I was looking for was sold out! I ended up selecting the Sonoma Cypress one from Walmart that you featured today. I think I’m going to be happy with it.

[@MommaFromScratch]

glad you got what you needed.

[@linp1268]

Thank you Emily, you have really broken it down so well! I have some garland already but I wanted to have my mantel look a bit more sophisticated and natural, so I was looking to add some more greenery. The choices you showed have really helped me! I also really love the look of the bells cascading down the side. 🤗

[@patsybaby60]

This is a great video Emily, comparing all the different garlands and how to use them. I have a lot of Garland but I need to buy some cedar looking garland and I think you’ve helped me to narrow down what I want. Can’t wait to see the way you decorate your house this year.❤

[@tehere86]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate you taking the time to really show us the difference of garlands and how they would look on different backgrounds. You did the work so we don’t have to❤

[@jennifernovak4506]

Emily, I’m very sorry for your loss. They definitely do become a part of our family. ❤️ Thank you for sharing so many insightful tips in regards to the different types of garlands that are available, and how to style them. I’m so looking forward to your Christmas decorating videos! I hope you have a lovely week and God bless you and your family. 😊

[@MommaFromScratch]

Thank you ❤❤

[@NeecoleL]

Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! I just bought the Walmart garland. I can't wait to decorate this holiday. 😊

[@aliciasalesas]

I WAS LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS ON YOUR CHANNEL FOR LAST YEAR BUT LOOK AT THIS YOU READ MY MIND THA I NEED THIS THANK YOU LOVE ALL YOU DO.AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOST 😔 REST IN HEAVEN.

[@MommaFromScratch]

[@Katy63100]

Very useful video, thank you! 😊 So sorry for the loss of you furry family member… it’s always so hard to say goodbye to them… 🥲😘

[@julielove6940]

You make some of the best videos! This was SO helpful. Thank you for your thoroughness and creativity! I purchased the mixed green, 9' Walmart garland and 3 of the 6' Afloral garlands to create an extra full look on my mantle and to hang from my banister. I also purchased the bells from Amazon to complete the look. I could not be more excited to get started! Thanks again!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Glad you enjoyed it and that will be very pretty

[@elizabethrusso5564]

Thank you so much, Emily, for all the great ideas and information, and also for doing all the legwork for us, too! I appreciate you very much! 🤗🎄

[@teresalongoria5300]

Thank you Emily on this garland video it’s exactly what I needed very helpful. Condolences on your sweet German Shepherd I have three myself oldest is eight. 🐕🐕🐕❤❤❤

[@lilianssanchez3306]

Thank you for sharing so many different garlands. I would love to see a video of how to decor a table with that, different ideas ect. Love your channel

[@MommaFromScratch]

glad you enjoyed it and will be sure to add that to my videos soon.

[@sherrypurdy9417]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is soooooo informative . Not only the different kinds of garland but how you can style them. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. I hope you realize what a life saver you are. Enjoy the rest of your day. 🎃👻🍁🪵🍂🎃👻🍁🪵🍂🎃👻🍁🪵🍂

[@MommaFromScratch]

Happy I could help, I’m really trying to share info that will make it easier for you all

[@debra5515]

This was a wonderful video. I appreciated the side by side comparison and how you labeled the garlands on the information page. I have a lot of shopping to do. Thanks so much, this really helped.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Good Morning Emily, Thank You so much for comparing these garlands. I really appreciate your help with shopping. 💖💖💖 I am hoping you have a wonderful week. 🥰 Chris

[@MommaFromScratch]

Thank you wishing you the same

[@lizlyons2463]

Great to see all the different garland types..thanks for that ...

[@TheBambifever]

A year later and I still come back to this video repeatedly. ❤

[@MommaFromScratch]

I’m glad it’s helpful

[@CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa]

What an incredibly helpful video Emily! You are so thorough. I love it! 🥰🤗

[@kayriggleman5196]

Awesome video showing all the garlands. Really liked seeing them side by side. I was also happy you told about clicking read more. It took me a while to figure that out.

[@MommaFromScratch]

your welcome, they seem to hide the area now and thats not helpful so I try to always say it so others know how to find it

[@marciaburton6461]

Emily this was so helpful. I am in the market for new garland and a larger wreath this year. I have a garland and wreath that I have used for YEARS, and I mean YEARS. It is still in good shape but it is not as flexible as the newer garlands. It also has a lot of red accents and I am leaning towards white no silver accents. I purchased a nativity last year that is white with some silver and I want a more natural garland with it. Thank you for showing all of these. I am leaning toward the cedar style for my mantle. Now I need to decide which one and make the purchase before they sell out!🙂

[@marciaburton6461]

Sorry meant white and silver.

[@uuelhempkin8640]

You christmas decorations are lovely and bright

[@Situ1988]

Thank you for taking the effort to show all the comparisons!! ❤❤I was a little indecisive for a while when it came to buying garlands but you have made it easy for me!! 😊

[@karigrader9451]

Emily, Thank you for taking the time and showing the comparisons. I really like the Walmart option since it goes with my existing decor. Can't wait to see your house decorated for Christmas.

[@chrissyt22]

Never thought to mix garlands. I really appreciated this video.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Yes it adds so much texture and fullness. Your welcome

[@julielefevre4184]

Thanks Emily for this informative video. It is really helpful to see things side by side. Looking forward to see how you use all of them.

[@tracewalker8772]

Wow that was so helpful! Now I know I like the cedar garland the best, thanks Emily💕💕💕💕

[@christinaamezquita84]

That was so helpful, the Mc gee was my favorite. You didn’t have to fluff as much. Can’t wait to see you decorate for Christmas. 🙏🏼🐶

[@carolfinn4027]

Very informative! Love those vintage looking bells.

[@veegeekittys6327]

Thanks for sharing all of your garland. My favorite is the one you suggested as a centerpiece with the pinecones.

[@maryannkilduff8659]

Where is the 2nd tree that you showed today from. I don't see the link for it. Thank you so much! 🎄

[@emsmomma4606]

Nice comparisons with the diff types of garlands. Normally what I do is that I don’t worry about the pinecones or berries…which tend to be more expensive. I just picked up a nice, full lighted garland from Menards and since I live way up in No. WI in the woods, I can add the pine cones and dogwood berries into my garland. I have on occasion, purchased a big bundle of cut branches from the Christmas tree lot…mix long needles, to cedar, fir…It always turns out beautiful. The bells you picked up are beautiful!

[@kfine9310]

Thank you for the comparison especially for the hard work to help us! Christmas decors are my collection and my guilty pleasure lol, I can't get enough of them!! Can't wait for your nexr decorating video 😍

[@ginamaria2579]

I’m so sorry losing sweet baby 🙏🏻💕

[@michelesholar1756]

Thank you this is very helpful. I really like the drapery Garland.

As if I need more excitement to decorate for Christmas! 🤩 Can’t wait. I love garlands

[@reattam]

Emily!!! This was great. I purchased the Afloral garland and just received it. It's beautiful. I have put it up already w my fall decor. I love it. ❤️. I also love the pinecone one from Walmart...going to find that one. I love all your videos 📹. You do a great job. Your picture of your dog made me cry. Our pets become part of our family. Prayers for your family as you grieve the lost of your sweet pet. 🙏

[@MommaFromScratch]

Im so glad you love it. thank you

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

I plan on making a side swoop with the bells and right where the swoop humps up, I plan to add some beautiful neutral ribbon to cover where the bells hang. I love combining the garlands together and making my own variants of garland. I have some gorgeous blue magnolia sprays from Cracker Barrel from last year. So excited to use.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Oh yes; that is one of the great things about garland, right? You can keep combining/adding to them each time you pull them out for a new season!

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

@@MommaFromScratch yes, most definitely and I always try to change it up every year. It always puts a smile on my face when my family says “ wow, how did you do this, it’s so beautiful”. Decorating is my happy place and Christmas Decorating…well…it’s just special isn’t it.. 🥰🎄

[@tinacarter1665]

Thank you so much for this great video Emily! I have been trying to figure out what garland I want for my staircase. I just ordered the Afloral one after watching this! 🎄

My pleasure!

[@lizlane5974]

Wow this was very helpful and terrifying at the same time because I have refused to watch Christmas decorations before Halloween and now I feel I’m too late 😩

[@AvraRobinson]

This video was really helpful! I love the comparison of colors and textures. It was also neat how you showed the different types of stems and whether or not they drooped. Your ideas are fantastic! Nice to see that discount-type stores can actually carry some items that can be made beautiful. I usually head to a nursery or Hobby Lobby, but how cool that maybe I could find stuff at Target or Walmart! Also - the fact that you took the time to link the products will bring me back to your channel! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, expertise, and talents. (PS - Sorry if this is inappropriate, but your hair is fantastic! 😂)

[@MommaFromScratch]

Glad it helped

[@rociojimenez1814]

Wow! I learned a lot! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Welcome

[@beingpetite6024]

Thank you for such a comprehensive review. It does get pricey to test out the garlands. I got notice that your Alaskan Cedar garland set of two, went on sale, making it a good time to consider them. I find it hard to get ones that look more realistic as well. I keep trying though, a few each year.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Yes it can be and thank you for letting me know it’s on sale that’s great for everyone considering it.

[@lisafield4154]

Fantastic video! I use command hooks rather than nails and have had great success.

[@MommaFromScratch]

I’m glad that works for you

Loved it! Here in Australia we mainly get the awful cheap 1980-90s style basic garlands. I bought the Afloral norfolk pine one last year on Amazon and absolutely love it. Much cheaper to buy it on US Amazon than AUS Amazon. I’d love to have all those ones you have there, they’re so cool!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Im glad you were able to get it
