Sugar Kissed Garland

Today I wanted to show you a fun little garland that is quite easy to make. This is not an original idea. A few years ago Anna Marie Horner showed a tutorial for a felt garland using all different colored felt. I loved it so much that I always intended to make one.

When Lindsey and I chose the color scheme for our Christmas crafts I decided to do this garland in red and pink.

I used a spool of thread to draw circles onto the felt with a pencil. It depends on how long you want to make your garland how many circles you'll need. Keep in mind that they are doubled. I found that two pink and two red pieces of felt were plenty to make an almost 7' length.


I used three strands of DMC to do the blanket stitch around each circle. The colors I used were Red 321 to stitch around the pink circles and Pink 3689 to stitch around the red circles.

I connected all the circles with a long strand of doubled thread pulled through the center of each so that they would be free to turn. You could also just whip stitch each one together.

I hope that you've enjoyed this tutorial today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for more ideas and another give away!

Have a beautiful day!

Twyla and Lindsey
