Simple Fall Garland

As is my usual style, I have a fall craft just in time for Christmas. :) I actually started this super simple craft before Halloween and then finished it sometime right after Halloween. This isn't just a fall specific craft either. You could put together any color scheme, for any holiday or even as a cute accent in a kid's room.

This was so easy, I don't know why it took me so long to get it done. I already had all the felt left over from kid's school projects. All I did was trace and cut out 80 circles and it only took me about 45 minutes. I had one sheet of each color and I got 20 circles from each sheet. So you could end up with more or less depending on the size of whatever you're tracing. I don't even know what I was using. It was just a plastic circle off of a toy I think.

 

Then, the circles sat on my kitchen counter for two weeks. This step is not required or recommended. ;)

 

Finally, I set up the sewing machine, picked a stitch that would hold these puppies together and went to town. This was the fun part. And it was fast. I just fed the circles in one after the other, back stitching the ones on each end. I made two garlands and put one on my mantel and the other on the shelf over my coffee bar.

 

 

They're just thrown up there casually, just hanging on like it's no big deal. Because it's not. And that's why I like it.

 

I'm working on switching up my Christmas tree color scheme, so prepare yourself for a Christmas tree mood board. I don't want to scare anybody, but C-Day is only 40 days away!
