DIY Festive Garland

 
 
 

This is a fun, simple project that will bring you joy for years to come. Perfect for the simple crafter! Be sure to read through for a variety of garland sprays that can double as room, linen, bathroom sprays too! -Rebecca McClelland

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Choose your string and your felt ball colors. We recommend using 1 mm unwaxed cotton cord. Use any color scheme for the felt balls!

  2. Find the length of your garland. Take your string and drape it where you want the garland. Measure it to make sure you have enough string and felt balls to reach the desired length and leave about 15 extra inches on the end of your thread when you cut it.

  3. Thread the balls on the string. Time to get threading! Tie a loop in one end of your string. Next, thread on your first felt ball using a sturdy metal yarn needle. Secure the bauble by tying a knot in the string. About 3 inches down, tie another knot for your next felt ball to rest against. Continue this pattern of knot, bauble, knot for a cute, quirky design with space between each felt ball! Finish it off with a second loop so your garland is ready to hang.

  4. Make your spray. Put 2 ounces of witch hazel or rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to help your oils blend with the water.

  5. Next, add your oils!!!

Pop of Peppermint Blend:

  1. Spray your garland. Honestly you can spray this everywhere in your home for a festive scent! Go for it!!!
