Strand Garland: (Very Late) Friday’s Project #16

I have been remiss in my blogging and crafting this last week. I apologize, dear readers, please stick with me. I actually have been crafting like mad for the wedding, and am getting ready to start posting more of the projects that are making it to the big day.

First up: I am testing garland.  I’d like to make a simple garland to put up in front of the head table and perhaps the cake table at the reception to break up the vast expanse of white tablecloth.

This post , by The Sweetest Occasion, inspired my first round of trial garland. I love the simplicity and low cost of this garland, and found felt, tulle, and yarn in my wedding colors, but I have decided it is too casual for what I want. It would be great for a birthday, baby shower, or a seasonal garland. The garland one is super simple to make and could easily be made in multiple color schemes. Simply braid, twist, knot, and drape different materials to make several strands of garland. I do like the addition of felt circles on string for interest. Play around and have fun with different materials! This is a great project for using up odds and ends of craft supplies as well.
