DIY Christmas Garland

This DIY Christmas Garland is a great way to add a bit of festive colour to your bedroom/house. It's really easy to make and can be completed in an afternoon.

Materials

  • red and green
  • felt
  • twine
  • ribbons
  • thread and needle
  • sequins/ beads (optional)

Cut Out Shapes

Cut out as many felt shapes as you think you'll need for your garland. I chose heart and Christmas tree shapes as they were both simple and festive! I also cut out smaller shapes of different coloured felt and sewed them on top of the larger shapes.

Decorate

Decorate the felt shapes with sequins and beads. You can sew around the edges of each shape for added decoration.

Attach Ribbons

Form a loop with each ribbon and stitch them onto the top of each felt shape.

String Shapes Onto the Twine

Cut a long piece of twine and string it through the ribbon loops on each felt shape.

Hang It Up!
