Many cedar swags are made from synthetic foliage materials such as plastic, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), or polyethylene. Structural components can include grapevine, wood, wire, wrapped metal centers, and metal hooks used for hanging.
Common hanging methods include built-in loops, wrapped metal hooks, adhesive hooks, and ribbons (some with hook-and-loop closures for chair-back styles). Many swags also have grapevine or wire centers that provide secure hanging points.
Typical decorative accents include pinecones, berries, ball ornaments, and ribbons or bows. Smaller mini sets often feature green or red bows.
Lighted swags in these listings are typically battery powered (commonly using D batteries, not included) and often include an automatic timer (6 hours ON, 18 hours OFF). Some styles note compatibility with an AC adapter sold separately, and a few tabletop styles mention a remote-controlled timer option.
Many cedar swags are described for indoor use or for covered/sheltered outdoor locations. While some listings call certain styles life-like for indoor/outdoor display, numerous products specifically note they are intended for indoor or covered outdoor use rather than exposed outdoor conditions.
The mini set shown is sold as a 2-pack, including two faux cedar swags (noted in listings as featuring green bows).
