Actually it's felt like Christmas for a lot of people since November 1st. But the first bad snow storm just hit most of us so I feel like Christmas is in full swing.
And to celebrate I have a few decor tutorials I have found and tested.
First up, the Ornament Garland (pictured below)
I saw this idea and instantly fell in love with it so I tried it out myself.
The instructions are straight forward, get a piece of ribbon and tie one end around an ornament then proceed to slide the rest of the ornaments you have onto the ribbon, they will fall into place on their own and you get a beautiful garland from it.
So here is what I learned, first off, the ribbon didn't work for me. I had to use string due to the fact that the ornaments would budge on the ribbon and some ended up falling off. Luckily they were plastic.
Other than it worked perfect for me, I think you have to adjust the medium you use (string, ribbon, yarn, etc.) depending on the size and type of ornaments you use.
Below are pictures of my process.
(you can see here that they are really bunching)
(however when you pull it up they start to fall into place)
(coming along nicely)
(i still ended up losing a few ornaments but you can't tell)
(turned out perfectly though)
I will have a couple more posts on how to decorate before the season is over hopefully.
