A few of you wanted to know more about the felt ball garland I posted earlier this week. Truth be told, I'm not a crafty person. My attempts usually end with quiet resignation and mild embarrassment. Even in this instance, my initial goal was to make this beautiful wreath, but once I realized the dexterity, patience and number of felt balls required, I quickly changed the plan to a foolproof garland. Grab a needle and thread and string together some felt balls purchased on Etsy. Done. And you still get that crafty high.
Jordan of Oh Happy Day also made her own garland. I like how she gets more bang for her felt ball buck by spacing them out a bit.
Also pictured above, my other homemade decoration, a pretty bottle full of cranberries floating in water. Sometimes I amaze myself. Have a wonderful weekend and enter this week's giveaway if you haven't yet!

Oh, these are adorable! I used to make felt balls all the time when I was little, and sometimes we made little ones and strung them on necklaces- kind of like a mini version of this project. So cute.
ReplyDeleteLove it and your cranberries decoration. You're so Martha!;)

Great job! I have always wanted to make a wreath like that.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that garland is cute. I've seen the wreath but you're right, it's kind of a lot of work! I'm going to try and make a garland similar that is made from yarn poofs because I have a lot of leftover yarn from a project that is too over my head! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI totally tried to do this last night, but with pom poms! I will try and post a picture tomm!
