I Tied One On!

No, it's not what you're thinking!

I've been busy creating fabric garlands, and this is my very first creation!

I had so much fun making it from pretty pink striped seersucker, sweet pink and white gingham checked material, white eyelet, lace, and other fabric.  All of that tearing of the fabric to create the strips was really a great stress reliever! (tee hee!!)

I tied all of the strips onto a long length of waxed twine, and this is what I came up with...........

 It was such a fun project, and a nice departure from my usual painted and glittered creations!

 I added this gorgeous silk blossom just for fun!

 I think this garland would be adorable hung in a little girl's room or nursery.  Or used at a party, baby or bridal shower, hung from the dessert or gift table.  I've even seen the garlands used as backdrops for professional photos, which looks super sweet!  How about hanging it outdoors, tied between two trees, for a garden party?  How pretty would that be, with the fabric "streamers" and lace fluttering in the breeze?

I will be placing this in my Etsy shop tonight, if you want to take a peek!

 I'm also currently working on an all lace and ribbon garland, I'll be sure to share that with you when I finish!

Have a great day!
