Pretty Paper Garland {DIY}

You're gonna love this!



Isn't it pretty? And simple too.
Follow these simple instructions and you can have pretty paper garland in no time.

::Cut strips of card stock. As many as you like. I used about 40 for the one I made and they measure about 1in. x 5in.  

::Chose any thread and bobbin color and start stitchin. Make sure that you sew slowly so that you can feed the strips through the machine evenly.

Ta-Da!


I hung mine on a mirror above my mantle, but wouldn't it be pretty hanging at a birthday party just twirling in the breeze? I think so.

    1. Honestly you just feed it through...nothin' special. I'm sure you could hand sew it, but that might take a while:)
