Folk Christmas Garland Decoration

 

 

As promised in my previous post, I have finally completed the

Folk Christmas Decorations,

it took me longer than I thought! 

 

 

 

I was inspired by the folk style decoration project in

Homestyle Sewing bookazine,

I mentioned in my previous post and the free kit to make them.

 

Here's my effort:

 

 

 

I made mine into a

Red and White Folk Felt Christmas Garland

as I love draping my windows with beautiful garlands at this time of year.

 

 

 

It's been difficult to get a great photo of it as it very long and the light hasn't been great either for taking photos.

 

 

 

I wasn't keen on the green thread on the red felt so I kept mine just red and white. 

 

 

 

I made pom poms out of white and red wool and strung them along with the decorations on a red thread at regular intervals.

 

 

 

I love the results.

 

My embroidery skills could do with a little improvement but I like their charm.

 

 

 

I have hung them on my main window in my flat long with a hand crocheted snowflake garland I made earlier in the year.

 

 

Now it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!!!
