DIY garland


i love garlands! they're simply adorable and an easy way to decorate...everything! they're easy and fun to do! enjoy! 
pick out your fabrics! it may be those that have been stored for what seems centuries, or those cutie fabrics you just bought at the thrift store! 
you can see that i forgot to iron my fabric first, so i ironed after i cut my flags out...guateva! the point is you want to iron at some point .-. 
i freehandedly drew out one flag, and used that one to trace out the rest, flip over your fabric and with chalk, or pen trace them! if you're a beast than you can just cut away! 
cut as many as you'd like..i cut out a lot because I made a couple of garlands..some to sell and some to decorate! 
i sewed the top of my flags with white yarn and a yarn needle. i love the look of stitches, but if you'd like, you can just hot glue yarn on top, or just connect the tip corners of the flags! many ways of doing this, do what you think is cutest!
i stamped red fox on one of my flags with stamp letters! get creative! you can sew on embroidery stuff, lace, you can paint on your flags..the list goes on! play!
