Swag Decoration For Less - swag on garden archWe have a vinyl arch in our backyard. It's pretty plain, so I decided to spruce it up with simple supplies (faux flowers/fillers, zip ties, and a bow).

This swag decoration could be for your home entry way, over the door as well (not just for arches). Also, you can apply this same concept for weddings too - you will just need more faux flowers/fillers to make it more fuller.

For weddings, I found arch rentals were pricey anywhere from $200-$400 more or less depending on the style/flowers.

But if you want to invest in a vinyl arch (the style I have is around $135 you could make your own floral decorations and also keep the arch in your backyard making it even more sentimental) still could be cheaper than renting (as an option). I would recommend trying to find fake flowers in advance when they're deeply discounted (usually end of the season they are 75% to 90% off).

  13. It is ready to hang. Since I am attaching it to the arch, I just used a zip tie. If you are hanging it on your wall, you'll need to make a loop/hook with a zip tie.
