Churchmouse Tartan Garland
December 17, 2014
Last year Churchmouse yarn shop had wonderful paper and tartan plaid cones filled with balls of yarn. We wanted to recreate these. Normally we make a wreath for this mirror but a garland worked better.
First we made cones from roofing paper (I LOVE this stuff. Everyone should own a roll of it). Then covered it with plaid fabric, velvet ribbon and old mother-of-pearl buttons.
The only change we made was to added pine and holly from our garden. I actually pinned each cone to the ribbon with a straight pin. I found it easiest to arrange the cones on the ribbon and you cannot see the pins. I am really happy how this garland turned out!!
I really like your theme this year. Nifty garland.

Clarice,
I LOVE your theme this year! It is so charming and cozy. Plaid always works :)
I hope that you are doing well and that your family is enjoying the Christmas season.
Hugs,

So pretty, Clarice! And plaid is so "in" this year! (Plaid is always "in" in my book! I am a hunters wife, after all!) ;~D
