Wrap a zip tie around the end of the garland and the banister and pull it tight. Many stores sell special Velcro for hanging garland. It tends to be more expensive and zip ties can accomplish the same thing! Some stores sell green zip ties as a seasonal item. Keep an eye out in the holiday decor section! Be sure to leave a tail at the end of the garland so that it doesn't slip through the zip tie. Your tail can be long for a more dramatic look, or short for a cleaner look! Place the zip ties every few feet to ensure that the garland won't fall down, and make sure they're secured tightly! If your garland is heavily decorated, you may need more than one zip tie to hold it in place and keep it from falling. Once all of your garland has been secured to the banister, go back and snip off all of the ends of the zip ties so that they aren't sticking out from the banister. Try to cut them as close to the "lock" as possible, and then spin them around the banister so that the lock and part you just cut are hidden in the garland. Dull scissors probably won't work for cutting the thick plastic, so use a pair of sharp kitchen or floral scissors. If the appearance of the clear or colored zip ties on the banister bothers you, use green floral wire wrapped around the zip ties to conceal them. Alternatively, you can use green floral tape wrapped around the zip ties, but be sure you don't tape onto the banister, as it can cause discoloration! You may need to cut off the ends of the floral wire with your scissors so they aren't sticking out from the garland.
Summary: Secure one end of the garland to the end of the banister with a zip tie. Attach the garland to the banister with a zip tie every 2ft (0.61m). Clip off the ends of the zip ties with a pair of sharp scissors. Cover the zip ties with floral wire or tape.
