Garlands
Garland is your go-to decor idea for your festive or just simple room decor. They are very easy to make, look simple yet a great statement piece. You can use it on every occasion throughout the year to emphasize your decoration.
Things required
- Felt heart and stars (8-10 pieces for 130 cm)
- Sewing Needles
- Thread (Take more thread than calculated for creating ends.)
- Arrange colors of heart and star in the order you want.
- Pierce through the side of your felt item (as shown in the video)
- Make knots on side of each star. It helps your felt items to stay in place.
- If you want to create spaced garland, make sure the crafts are spaced uniformly.
- Cut or burn off the excess thread.
Burning off the nylon thread makes sure the thread is cut without thread splitting up or untieing. The heat actually helps to seal thin nylon fibers. Just be careful while using fire. - Make a loop on both ends to make it easy to hang.
- Your DIY garland is now ready.
