Tutorial - How to Make an Upcycled Felt Garland

Festive garlands from upcycled wool sweaters

Tutorial at Pillar Box Blue

"This is such an addictive festive craft. Last week when making Christmas felt letters I suggested that you might want to keep the scraps to make a felt decoration (felt tinsel). These felt garlands are fantastically colourful and can be used in loads of ways. You can wrap the felt garlands round your tree, use it to hang things from, treat it like ribbon or just drape it over your pictures for that fun festive feel. Even though what happens in craft club should stay in craft club, I can tell you that last night we got into the festive mood by turning mini felt garlands into adorable felt christmas baubles"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Ribbon Fall Garland

Would make a nice addition to Thanksgiving decor

Tutorial at The Seaman Mom Blog

"This DIY fall garland project is ridiculously easy and quick! Once you’ve got your supplies together it should take less than 10 minutes to make. You could then cross this pretty garland across a fireplace, or along an empty, white wall as I did.  You can use leaves from your backyard or a park or you can purchase artificial ones and then paint but I think the natural leaves look so much better and give your garland a more authentic look. And if you are a rustic decor lover, you’ll enjoy working with natural leaves, they add a touch of warmth to any house".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Light Up Floral Garland

Add oomph to light strands for home decor

Tutorial at Lately with Katie Blog

"I’m really excited about this post. I love twinkly lights. They are on my favorite things list. My sister and I have a constant favorite list of simple things that make us happy. Examples: tiny rainbows, iced coconut coffee from Brueggers (summer in a cup), dainty tea cups, succulents, decanters, antique keys (like the kind from Cinderella) and more silly things that make you smile inside. The list goes on, but twinkly lights are definitely in the top five. I came up with this garland idea to give my fireplace a little fix up. You could use this idea for weddings, a home built bar (example in post), above your bed, or as I did, above your fireplace".... Read more

Tutorial - Make a Valentine's Day Fabric Garland

Includes time-saver steps for a cute bunting

Tutorial at Sew for Soul Blog

"As Alice and I walked to school yesterday, she suddenly asked if I would make her some Valentine's Day bunting as presents for her friends.  "How many sets are we talking about?", I asked, "Nine" came the reply.  So I had a day to stitch seventy-two pennants and attach them to over ten metres of bias-binding.  "No Problem", I told her and quickly raced home to get started. Now normally when I make bunting banners I like to take my time, in particular I hand-sew the bias-binding down so there is no visible stitching on the tape when viewed from the right side.  Today there was no chance!  Instead, here's a cheat's guide to speedy bunting making"....

Tutorial - Jute Twine Garland with Bells

Use garland to decorate a tree, a mantle, etc.

Tutorial at Purple Hues and Me Blog

"I was in a fabric store recently and there was a video showing how to finger crochet or knit.  I often get the two techniques confused.  Anyway, while looking at the video, a light bulb went off in a weird sort of way for me to try to make a garland out of twine using a slipknot. I know, a slipknot!  After getting home, I pulled out my very large roll of jute twine and started making slipknots.  I first tied a knot on one end and then basically tied a knot to form a loop and continued tying knots with loops. This sounds a bit cray cray, but a cute little pattern of loops was forming and I liked how it was looking".... Read more

Tutorial - Crocheted Hearts and Flowers Garland

Soft and pretty crocheted garland

Tutorial at Tanna Gail Vintage Blog

"The origin of my heart pattern is lost in the mists of time. It's written on a crumpled up piece of paper that I have jealously guarded.

The final edging step will give you a nice rounded heart shape".... Read more

Its always a bittersweet time in Oklahoma - good because of the beautiful sights of buds on trees and warm spring days, but bad because of allergy-season hitting full-force and the threat of severe weather here in tornado alley.  Now it is time to take down my easter decor, I wanted to replace it with spring-looking items and whip up a spring garland.

Garland Tutorial at Crafty Staci Blog

"I’ve mentioned here before, my husband is in law enforcement.  The first Christmas after he became a police officer, I bought a little police car ornament.  I’ve bought nearly every police-themed ornament I’ve seen since, so we have quite a collection.  We also have a nutcracker police force.  Our Christmas village is full of cops.  I love all of it, but a couple of years ago I started to realize I didn’t have much to represent my own interests among all our holiday décor.  That was the year I bought my sewing nutcracker. I’ve been saving my empty thread spools this year, which are now part of the perfect garland to hang over the window in my sewing room and compliment this stitching soldier".... Read more
