I found this great DIY garland on You Are My Fave, and re-appropriated it for Christmas—using Christmas colours was my way of re-appropriating it for Christmas.
I'm a bloody genius, I know.
It's super simple and looks really good. It took me a pretty long time to finish two garlands of nine flowers, but it gave me a reason to sit on the couch and power through the last season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Which is really the best kind of project, isn't it? One that keeps you busy, while giving you some down time.
All you need is some tissue paper, scissors, string and glue dots. I didn't follow You Are My Fave's instructions to the letter. I probably used 18 times more glue dots than I was supposed to and my flowers looked awful before I glued them together, but you wouldn't know it from the final product.
