It’s time to swag, rope and wrap. Turn your plain doorway, mantle, railing, or lamp post into a fragrant, holiday wonderland with fresh-cut garland. Follow the formulas to determine just how much garland you need to beautify your home or business.
Doorway formula: Measure height x 2 + door width = amount garland needed
i.e. Standard doorway is 10 feet tall x 4 feet wide = need 24 feet garland
Mantle formula for swagging: Measure the length of mantle x 1.5 = amount garland needed i.e. Standard Mantle is 6 feet wide x 1.5 = need 9 feet garland to swag
Banister formula for swagging: Measure the length of banister x 1.5 = amount garland needed i.e. Banister is 10 feet long x 1.5 = need 15 feet garland to swag
Banister formula for wrapping: Measure the length of banister + height of newel post and then x 2 = amount garland needed i.e Banister is 10 feet long + 3-foot high newel post = 13 feet x 2 = need 26 feet of garland to wrap
Lamppost formula for wrapping: Measure the height of lamp post x 2 = amount garland needed i.e. Lamppost is 8 feet high x 2 = need 16 feet of garland to wrap
