I confess I cut it to fit my smaller than average mantel and laid it over my pine garland. I used the cuts to plump the holly-berry sprays I use to go around my Advent Wreath. The 'frost' (glitter) is pretty on its own but is WOW when used with micro-lights. Yes, it is a little 'sparse' but my space is so small it works very well, it gives the pine garland a nice boost of class:) I want another one!
