Best way to hang garland around front door?

[pickle123]

What do you use? Hooks? What kind? I really have a hard time making a permanent hole since our house is new.

Staple gun around the sides of the molding? (if it's wood).

In my experience, more permanent solutions are the best for Christmas lights. E.g., We're installing a heavy duty hook at the top of the house to hang our large wreath.

3M removable hooks. Depending on your area you might need to use a blow dryer to heat the area up and also use alcohol to clean the spot.

I installed small (like about 1/4") eyelet screws at the top and bottom of the framing and use paddle wire to hang the garland.

I used those small clear hooks. Then had issues with it staying, so used the green (I think it's floral?) wire - wrapped it aroung the garland & then on the hook.

I wrapped green floral wire around the garland at the points where I wanted it to hang and then figured out a way to hook the wire between the brick and the top of the porch roof. And then prayed that it didn't get too windy. :-)

The stick-on ones?

Where you guys getting your garland? I'd love fresh but don't know how much $ it is and I like the availability of having fake on hand. But not crappy looking fake, a good fake.
