Recommendations for fixing the garland on the window

Before decorating a window with a garland of your choice, there are several important rules to consider. They have a huge impact on the safety of jewelry and even on the health of your family:

1. If you have wooden windows, you will need to use the usual buttons to hang the garland. Make sure that the buttons securely fix the LED decoration.
2. If you have plastic windows, then you can use silicone hooks on the suction cups. They are sold in different sizes in stores, so if you want them to be inconspicuous, choose the smallest hooks.
3. Decoration can be fixed with adhesive tape, but this method is not suitable for massive products. This mount is more suitable for thin LED threads.
4. Use double-sided tape in the color of the garland to fix it to doors or mirrors. Traces left by adhesive tape can be removed using alcohol-containing compounds.
5. If you purchased a very massive garland, then in order to hang it, use a few nails. The only negative of this method is the traces after the nails.
6. You can use a thin strong thread (fishing line) in order to fix the decoration on the window. The fishing line will serve as a cornice for the LED attribute.

Important! The process of securing the garland must be approached very responsibly so that the decoration retains all its technical characteristics and appearance.
