I went into my craft room early on Sunday morning with the plan to do a little bit of organizing. I came across a stack of Christmas fabric that I bought and haven't yet used. I drew up a pattern for a Christmas stocking, but my heart wasn't really in it.
I was trying to decide if I really wanted to make Christmas stockings and I dragged out some red rick rack. A light bulb went off. A scrappy garland! Yes!
I threw out the pattern for the stocking and after a couple of hours of tying strips of fabric to the rick rack, here's my new scrappy garland.
Our living room is way too dark for a photo of the garland in action, but trust me, it's cute.
It even matches my little Christmas trees.

Love it! Its a great idea with no sewing involved. And I love that it coordinates with your trees. :)
Wow, Karyn. Very pretty!
Oh, what a wonderful idea! I must have a go at that, I've got some red ricrac and plenty of scraps. Beautiful!
Oh that is fantastic! So lovely.
I love red/white/blue as Christmas colours...or at any time of the year! lol :)
I was making wreaths yesterday, but garlands are on my list, bunting too!
I love it!
LOVE the garland!
Completely gorgeous - well done!
Love the garland--it is soooo cheery and festive! Great idea for rickrack...I think Felicia said, you are the Rickrack Queen--yup! Happy Day ((HUGS))
The garland is so cute and so are the button bracelets.
I LOVE the garland! If I wasn't so behind on gift-making, I would make one for our home. I love all the festive colors!
So cute! I bet it's adorable on the tree!
Very nice! And a great way to use fabric too. :)
Ack!!! See, this is why I love coming here! I've been trying to come up with a new fluffy-ish fabric garland and was coming up totally blank. I currently have a yucky plastic-y fake pine garland that I can't stand. Something like this would be infinitely better!! LOVE it!
Adorable! I love it when lightbulbs go on over my head like that.
It's too freaking adorable is what it is! You're giving me ideas. Stop that!
That's a fun idea! And it's always nice to have a project that doesn't require big pieces...
