With the help of small carnations, they also fix the lights on the wall, bending their hats up in the form of hooks. After removing the decor, if holes remain on the surface, they are completely invisible. On plastic surfaces, the garland can be attached using transparent hooks on suction cups.
On sale there are special fasteners for garlands. For example, easy-to-remove clips with a transparent Command system. They are hooks on the front side, and are glued to the surface using strips like double-sided tape. The fasteners are completely invisible on the wall. After removal, they do not leave sticky and greasy stains.

Safety precautions when working with garlands
Remember that garlands, although a kind of jewelry, are still electrical products. Make sure all wires are well insulated. It is not recommended to connect more than 500 light bulbs to one network.
If you use a garland to decorate the street, make sure that they match in appearance. Ordinary home lights can sparkle in the rain and then the entire electrical wiring system will “cover up”.
If you want to connect one garland to another, then make sure they have the same voltage. Incompatibility can also adversely affect the power supply system.
There was a time when real candles were used to decorate the Christmas tree. They were lit, and although the Christmas tree became more beautiful and bright from this, it could catch fire from the fire, it was risky. Therefore, later appeared specifically as a festive decoration for the Christmas tree garlands of electric light bulbs. It has become less dangerous, in addition, electric garlands look more elegant than ordinary candles.
A lot of time has passed since then, it has become customary for us to use just such garlands to highlight toys, rain and other Christmas tree decorations. The choice of electric garlands has become richer. There are light bulbs in different colors. And if you want, stop your choice on garlands that blink, as if bewitched by a fairy-tale sorceress. It is not for nothing that some peoples call this wonderful decoration “fairy lights”.
Of course, such a wonderful decoration should be used not only for the winter holidays. They can also be seen as part of the decoration of an anniversary or birthday, wedding, matinee in kindergarten or prom at school. Wherever they are not! It is difficult to list all the cases when this spectacular decor is successfully and successfully applied.
And in an apartment, an electric garland can become an element of decor. Due to the fact that individual objects (for example, a mirror, a picture, a fireplace, a window frame) will glow along the contour, the whole situation will instantly change, some objects will stand out, and something will disappear from view.
It is easy to decorate the interior with the help of garland light bulbs, to do this, fix it on the bed or on the mirror, repeating its shape, place it on top of the closet, on a shelf, chest of drawers so that free, unfixed parts hang down. Thus, you can highlight any object or interior detail.
If you want your electric garland to decorate the wall in the apartment, it must be fixed. Use tape (regular or double-sided). If the wall is drywall, then pushpins will help you.
To make "magic" lanterns using an electric garland, use any containers through which light bulbs will penetrate. It can be bottles and bottles of interesting shape, glass or plastic jars, crystal vases, candle lanterns. Place the garland in the containers of your choice and your fabulous shining lanterns are ready. Looking at them, it is easy to believe that wizards take the lights from these lanterns to light the Christmas tree.
For decor from the entire range of garlands, battery-powered LEDs are more suitable, microbulbs will probably be more convenient than usual ones.
Among the options for using decorative electric garlands, there is a very creative one, namely a pattern from a garland. You can depict anything from what is on the topic closer to the holiday. It can be an asterisk, a snowflake, a heart, a Christmas tree, a house or something else.
Small light bulbs in a garland can resemble a light that smolders in the stove. Take advantage of this to decorate a decorative bonfire with a garland. You will need some branches or firewood, you can take stones. Arrange these items on a tray somewhere in the apartment, for example, near a Christmas tree or inside a decorative fireplace, lay a garland on top as if they were embers.
In some place of your apartment, for example, above a bed, a sofa, you can make a drapery of thin fabric that will let in the flickering glow of light bulbs. The smaller the size of the bulbs, the softer the glow. This drapery looks very impressive. So you can decorate the curtains on the windows, canopies over the bed. With this decor you will create the atmosphere of a fairy tale. Shiny fabric is a great decoration for your home.
The garland of light bulbs can be used as a holder for a gallery of funny and cute photos that remind you of the joyful moments of your life, and now you are going to hang them for decoration. The wire itself can be fixed on the wall in any interesting shape. A zigzag shape will do, and if you want, place it in the form of a wave. You will need clothespins to keep the photos firmly on the garland. Instead of photographs or along with them, hang images on the topic. If it's the New Year, then use postcards and drawings with a Christmas tree, a snowman, Santa Claus's sleigh, etc.
Garland wreath
At Christmas, it is customary to hang a festive wreath in the apartment. And here you can use a garland. The frame, which must be in a wreath, is made of strong wire or slats, branches. The shape can be both ordinary and special (a star, for example). Make a braid for a wreath from an electric garland.
