1. A substrate protection device for attaching a decorative item to a rail-type structure, comprising:
- a protective substrate conformable to a rail-type structure, the protective substrate comprising at least three layers of material including a top layer, a bottom layer, and an intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate layer comprises member selected from the group consisting of a padding layer, a fire-retardant layer, a scented layer, a water proofing layer, and combinations thereof;
a first securing mechanism coupled to the protective substrate and structurally configured to attach the protective substrate to the rail-type structure, the first securing mechanism comprising a pair of ties; and
a second securing mechanism coupled to the protective substrate and structurally configured to attach the decorative item to the protective substrate.
