This is not a close up but if you Look above the fireplace you will see it. It was long enough to go across the top of the mantle and down the sides just a bit. I had read reviews before purchasing so when it arrived I took it outside and shook it pretty good. In doing so some of the extra glitter, (snow), fell off. Then I took some clear coat in a spray can, I used gloss because it usually seals better,  and I sprayed the garland until saturated pretty good but not dripping. I had cardboard under the garland. After drying I took it in and placed it where I wanted it. Snow still came off on my fireplace but not near as much as would have. It’s a pretty holiday piece.
