Today's project is a retro Christmas garland made by Connie Mercer, and it comes with a tutorial! Let's get started!
Curtsey Boutique Supplies:
Red and Green soda straws
Other Products:
Buttons
Instructions:
1. These are the items you will need
to make this festive “retro” garland. You will need about 40”
of the red bakers twine for the garland.
2. I used 4 straws and cut them into
pieces, about 1” to 1.5” in size.
3. I tied a button on the end so I
wouldn’t lose my garland, as I threaded the straws and buttons on.
4. Just as the photo shows I started
adding the straws and buttons. About every four or five straws I put
the string through both button holes so the button would be flat, for
a different look. That is up to you.
5. I continued this same process and
adding a button at the end also. I put a dab of hot glue on the end
of the button where I tied it off.
6. I took the mittens die cuts and
glued them together with the red bakers twine~making five sets of
ornaments. My initial thought for a small Country Christmas tree. I
just need to get a small tree! Hope you enjoyed this Holiday
project!!!
