garland is not your grandmother’s tree decor

By Guest Contributor on 1.22.2010

garland is not your grandmother’s tree decor

This is a simple and fun project. Garland makes a great gift and can be used for holidays, baby showers and every day decor.

**The following article was written by guest contributor, Elsie Flannigan.**

First you need to crochet your circles. If you’ve never made a crocheted circles here is a quick tutorial.

You can experiment with different quantities and size of circles to create different circles.

I’ve been making them for several months, so I had a big bowl of them to choose from. It’s a great way to use extra yarn and it’s a fun activity for movie watching or long car rides.

Then use a tapestry needle to string a piece of yarn though them to create a pretty garland for your tree or wall.

If you use a color scheme like all pink or all white it can last past the Christmas season and on through the winter, Valentine’s, spring or for showers and celebrations.

Hi Elsie,

Just noticed your site in my logs. Thank you so much for including my crochet tutorial in your project instructions. I absolutely love this idea! I could see something similar in some posh boutique somewhere selling for quite a bit of money.

Warmest Regards,

Michele
