fabric garlands
Dec. 7th, 2013 10:35 amI don't think it's a secret that I love fabric garlands. So when I saw all the charming winter fabric prints at work, I knew I needed a seasonal, wintery, christmassy one!
I admit that, however great my love for fabric garlands, I have not figured out how to effectively photograph them. Anyway. This long one hangs from the living/dining room divide. I love those classic bungalow built-ins - so handy!
I used my rotary pinking blade to cut 5" squares, then stitched them into a folded length of cotton twill tape. Easy peasy! And The Girl really got to feel like she was helping - she did all the layout with me.
I can't believe the artistry of some of these fabrics. My favorites are the two bird prints, both from the Winter's Lane collection from Kate & Birdie Paper Co. for Moda.
For the other room, I wanted a quieter, more elegant one, so I just used the cool tones and skipped the brighter, more whimsical ones. Same theme, different look.
