By Amber Bouthot
Tis the season to deck the halls, so why not get the whole family involved and make your own garland? From paper feathers to pine cones and popcorn, there’s a little something for everyone this holiday season.
Felt Balls You can find felt balls in all shapes, sizes and colors at your local craft or hobby store. Choose what suits your décor best and get to work. Twine works great for the base, or you can use yarn or other heavy fabric string.
Mini Presents
Using empty raisin or mini cereal boxes, you can create a colorful and playful holiday focal point. Choose colorful tissue paper and wrap each box then string them up with twine.
Feathers
No matter the season, you can find bright and colorful feathers to match your décor. This one is perfect for the season through Thanksgiving. For Christmas and winter, opt for some soft blues and white.
Mini Pinecones Grab some mini pinecones, twine, super glue and scissors and you are ready to go to create this simple, yet beautiful holiday garland. Add some cute puff balls for some extra holiday cheer. We’d love to see your creations. Email your pictures to Amber at ambouthot@the-papers.com.
