Winter Garland

I love garlands!! They are so fun to decorate with throughout the year! I found this winter garland at Hobby Lobby and wanted to remake it smaller to fit in my kitchen! I bought the garland when it was 70% off so it was a pretty good deal! I love the mixture of the silver snowflakes and the rusty bells.

I decided I wanted to add felt balls to this garland. I used white and grey balls. the amount you will need will depend on how long your garland is and your pattern.

To get started in making the new garland I measured out the twine I needed. Then I made a loop knot on one end.

I used a yarn needle to thread the items on the twine.

You can put the garland together in whatever pattern you wish. Below is a picture of the pattern I did.

I took the bows off of the old garland and used hot glue to attach them to the silver snowflakes. Then when you are done with your garland you add another loop to the end of the garland.

I really enjoyed remaking this garland and loved adding my own spin to it! Would love to see pictures of your favorite garlands!

DIY Fall Felt Ball Garland

Supplies Needed:

  • Needle
  • Waxed Thread
  • Scissors
  • Felt Balls, I used white, yellow, green, and purple

Instructions:

This is really simple to make and so fun! You can make such a beautiful garlands with felt balls. I used colors that reminded me of fall and incorporated shades of white, yellow, green, and purple. It makes me think of the Indian corn decorations.

To start the garland I made a loop at the end of the piece of waxed thread.

Thread your needle and then use your needle to gather the felt balls together. I just pushed the needle through each ball and pushed the ball down the the end of the garland. The needle goes through the felt balls really easily. Once you have all the balls you want sewn together you can make another loop at the end.

These garlands are fun to hang, use in baskets or drape over a shelf!

I hope you give this a try!!

Embroidery Hoop Christmas Wreath

Supplies Needed:

  • Large Embroidery Hoop, I used an 18 inch one from Hobby Lobby
  • Zip Ties
  • Wire Cutters
  • Garland, I used 2 Strands of Garland
  • Decorations of Your Choice

Instructions:

This is a really simple craft, but an awesome way to use your left over or favorite garlands! All you have to do is zip tie the garland to the front of the embroidery hoop. I used a lot of zip ties to be sure that it was secure, but made sure the zip tie was right next to the branches to cover it.

I ended up pulling the ends to the back of the wreath to make it easier to cut the excess with my wire cutters.

Once I secured both the garland all the way around the hoop, I started decorating! I pulled apart these green berries and snow covered greenery from last Christmas and stuck them in all around the wreath! You could add your favorite winter ornaments, floral decor, or pine cones.
