If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to check out Donna’s Christmas Garland Made from Twigs at Funky Junk Interiors:
Donna posted the tutorial for the garland on Wednesday, and I think I had one of my own made by Thursday night—that’s how much I love it! (I usually don’t work that fast.)
At Christmas time, our advent calendar hangs in front of the old window in our kitchen. I had some faux-snowy-piney garland hanging over it, but I wasn’t feelin’ the love…I like this twiggy garland so much better!
I bought a bundle of decorative branches at Hobby Lobby. With my 40% off coupon, they cost me about $8. I liked that half were dark and half light, so my garland isn’t exactly the same as Donna’s! I alternated colors the whole way—but I think it would have looked cool in larger ‘chunks’ of color as well (maybe three at at time?).
I tied my twigs together with red-and-white baker’s twine for a little subtle color. Then I dismantled a Christmas pick of faux berries and wired a berry about every 12 twigs.
As per Donna’s suggestions, I turned on a little Netflix and just tied twigs! (I think it only took about 1 1/2 episodes of Smallville—not too long!)
It's a fun, easy project. What do you think? Is it something you might like to try?
And what do you think…is it time for my window to be a lighter color, maybe?
