How to Make a Felt Holiday Garland

 
This garland is a simple sew project made from felt, fabric strips and ribbon.

 
 
Begin with cutting strips of felt 2 inches wide. Cutting these strips at an angle, you end up making diamond shape pieces. Every two pieces will give you about 3.25 inches of length toward your garland. Cut strips of fabric 1" by 5" and ribbon also in 5" lengths.
 
Place diamonds in pairs, to sew together length-wise. Sewing up to the last .25" of the diamond tip, overlap the next set of diamonds and keep sewing pairs together until you have reached your desired length. Take the strips of fabric and ribbon and tie them between each diamond set.
 


If you like you diamonds nice and symmetrical, you can use this template.
