Harvest Garland

 It's that warm and cozy time of year - the time for pumpkins, sweaters and a warm cup of spiced cider or chocolate around a crackling fire. 

I like to decorate at this time of year with the colors of fall and harvest.  Here's a simple garland I created for Gwen Studios this month. 

This garland is super simple to make. Start by cutting lengths of ribbon, felt and fabric to tie onto the garland.

I used a burlap ribbon from Gwen Studios, some orange and brown print fabric and wheat and orange felt. I cut my strips about 1" wide and 5-6" long

You can find Gwen Studios burlap ribbon at Walmart.com.

I used twine for the base of my garland, but you could use ribbon.  Tie a loop in the end of the string and tie on each strip in a simple knot.

Here's the start of the garland. Make it as long as you like and hang with your favorite harvest motifs like pumpkins, corn or scarecrows.

Beside hanging it, you can drape it around your table.

Enjoy the season!
