Calls for felt ...but I used two colors of cream fleece....I like the softness better and how it looks when cut. I rotary cut strips of fleece about an inch wide....then snip pieces off in random shapes with scissors. Thread a large eyed needle with fish line and string on the pieces randomly. Fun because you cannot make a mistake. Every few inches or so add a bell....walmarts had them in various sizes...I used medium. 
I loved the way they turned out....using them everywhere in the house. Added a few starfish after adding a little sparkle. A nice evening project in front of the TV.....
Wouldn't this be cute with cut up quilt pieces...an old tattered one of course!...
The variations are endless.... Try some for your decor!!!!, xoxo~Kathy
You know - I really like this! Easy, in front of the computer/TV type fun and you really can't go wrong, can you? Have a great week, and thanks for the great post!

Oh Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this garland. I actually have an old tattered quilt that I may just cut up and have at it. I will keep you posted, but I would like to make a garland for the fireplace mantel. How beautiful this turned out.
The starfish are just beautiful on the garland and I love the little bells added every so often along the way. I thank you for sharing this evening.
Have a beautiful day tomorrow, and thanks again for showing us the details on a beautiful holiday craft to accent each of our homes.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through Susan's Naps From the Porch Bloglist. I see that you are from Cadillac, MI. I'm from the Mid-west too - raised in the Cleveland area and my Mom's family was from Detroit and Dearborn. My Mom and my brothers were all born in MI. While my hubby and I lived in Chicago we so enjoyed taking our RV into MI along the MI lakeshore. On one of our trips years ago we stopped in Cadillac at a downtown restaurant that I picked out as we were driving through and had the most delicious meal there. We found out that a famous chef worked there. One another trip we stopped again. We still joke about my ability to find good restaurants in the most unlikely places. You live in a very beautiful area.
PS - love you posts on Christmas!

Kathy....I love this idea! It almost looks "snowy" which I love. It looks like you may have used 2 different shades of cream fleece? Maybe it is just the lighting? I might add a little bit of white glitter to mine for a little sparkle. Thanks!~Patti
ReplyDeleteSo cute - gives the feel of snow. Doing it in fleece was a good idea. Thanks for sharing you holiday fun. You're an inspiration to me. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I want that book! What a neat idea for a garland...it looks wonderful against the chalkboard.
