It's so simple to make your own garland: you can do it from any branches, sticks or basically anything that takes your fancy that you can fashion together with wire (actually a thick braided rope looks good for a beach themed place and doesn't even require any wire... but getting back on topic:). Here's all you need:
Wire, pruning shears/ scissors, stems/ pieces |
Choosing wire the same colour as your pieces makes it near impossible to see! |
Be sure to point the stems in opposite directions for a full look and continue doing this until you've reached your desired length.
Being creative is messy! |
Simple and takes less than 10 minutes! I had plenty left over so I even made one for outside and attached it onto our railing with twine:
Just think - these beautiful branches that have made our home feel so festive were destined for the garbage!! I'm glad I managed to save them and create two garlands completely for free with nothing more than a little 'hard yakka' - the Aussie term for elbow grease ;)
