Felt garland

I bought a ton of felt.

Half a yard of every color in the store. They're not all shown here. I kept going back and grabbing more bolts. 16, maybe 17 colors total. It was on sale and I wanted to make sure I had all the colors. You know, "just in case."  That's a shopaholics way of saying "I have no control."

I bought so much felt because I Googled "felt garland."

I really shouldn't have done that.

Because it made me buy half a yard of felt in 16, maybe 17 colors.

At least it was on sale.

First felt garland I made:


 

Crazy easy. Six inch strips. One inch wide. Glued together using fabric glue. Done.

Any color combination you fancy. Any occasion you need.

    Thanks for linking to my dot garland.

    Couldn't help but notice your previous post about being in Bellingham, Wash. That's my hometown! It's a small world after all.

    I kept meaning to make a pompom garland this year for my tree, but it didn't happen. :( Oh well, maybe next year.

  5. I love garlands! They're so fun and add so much to any scene. It doesn't hurt that they're really easy to make either.
