Hang up Christmas garland: This is how it works

To create a beautiful Christmas fir garland, all you have to do is clamp the telescopic rod in the door frame and adjust it so that it sits firmly. Then you can decorate the pole as you wish. For example with artificial fir green (you can get it here on Amazon*), fairy lights, bows and Christmas tree decorations.

Then carefully push the garland up into the door frame and the decoration is ready. Clever, right?
