It was such a FUN and easy one to put together that I cant wait to show you!
I love usingfeltin my Christmas crafts and decorating.
I think Ive proven myself in that regard withfelt ornamentsandfelt mistletoe.
I even used some old scraps of felt to make the hats for thesegnome ornaments!
Once I get obsessed with a craft material, its done.
Im going to make anything and everything I can with it!
And Im all about felt and plain wood this year.
Ive made abasic felt ball garland, andone for wintertoo.
The process is so easy that I decided to repeat it in Christmas colors!
And I added some polka dot balls and feltcandy canestoo.
Its lightweight and easy to hang up with pins or Command strips.
It can go anywhere!
Youll need to purchase wool roving.
Besides the wool, youll need hot water and dish soap.
Then youll let them dry overnight (you could get more detailshereon the process).
Youll still want to use wool felt or wool yarn.
How Many Balls?
How many wool balls will you get out of a 1/2 oz.
package of wool roving?
Approximately 12 16 at about a 1/2 diameter.
It varies greatly depending on how tightly you squeeze the balls, etc.
you’re free to drape yourgarlandover just about anything.
I highly recommend doing it the way Ive shown in the pictures below.
Swag every three to five feet for a little interest.
You never want to hang it straight.
The swag (tacking it up at various points) will integrate into your decor better.
