Christmas may be over but I am still decking the halls with boughs of holly or rather hearts and felt. And that is taking the form of a Valentine’s Day Felt Garland. Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Decorating with hearts, pink and red begins after the Christmas Trees come down, And sadly yes the trees come down, Kent had put his foot down on the concept of a Valentines Day Tree,

Working like a fiend to get everything up so I can then start crafting even more. How crazy am I? AlthoughI do save the basement Family Room for Superbowl Celebrations.

Homemade Valentine’s Garland

Valentine’s Day Felt Garlands, taking a page from the Christmas Felt Garland I love so much. mean honestly, who hasn’t seen them and fallen in love? Plus it is the perfect all season decoration.

Easily changing the colour scheme can make this the perfect addition to your mantle or wreath any holiday. Today I am focusing on Valentine’ss and a standard colour palette.If you know me, you know I can non-traditional most often.

What you will need for the Garland

As I mentioned earlier no special tools are needed for this Valentine’s Day Felt Garland, just you and the ability to tie a knot.

Felt in a few colours. I used 3 colours with 5 sheets of each
Ribbon that complements your felt, I used 4 different patterns
sturdy twine or jute, today I went with pink
scissors

How to Create the Christmas Felt Garland

This was one of the easiest crafts I have created in a long time. And best of all, just like knitting I could do it in front of the TV. I grabbed my supplies and the remote. Hallmark Loveuary movies and crafts go together like wine and cheese.

Garland Instructions

Cut the felt into 1/2 inch wide strips. Don’t worry about the lines and cuts being perfect. This is a handmade felt garland, eyeball the strips and get cutting. Best size is about 5 inches long and a 1/2 inch wide.
create a loop at the end of the twine. Don’t worry about cutting the twine yet, work with the ball of twine until you figure out the length of the garland strand. For me, I just kept adding bows until I ran out of felt.
Alternating your felt colours, tie the felt on to the twine. I would recommend you alternate the angle at which you tie on the felt pieces, it creates that messy close together look.
Keep tying the felt on the twine until you reach the end.
Cut the twine allowing enough space for a loop at the end.
Easy peasy, you are done, just figure out where you want to hang it.
I added mine to the mantle and I love it.

Valentine’s Day Creative

Have you been crafting for the holidays? I figured working at home I have added two hours of craft/blog time to my day. No commuting has provided a few extra hours a day for me. Not that I have taken advantage of that fact till now lol.

I finally got my Blogging Grove back and inspiration is hitting me frequently. Looking for additional inspiration? Check out my Rocky Road Valentines Fudge, so decadent. Ot maybe the Heart PomPom Wreath is more your style?
