This quick and easy garland can be made as long or short as you like. Wrapped on a basket handle (as shown) hung along a shelf, or embellish a gift, so many possibilities.
The garland in the photo was made using 2 pipe cleaners, twisting the ends together and embellished with wool roving and a felting needle. (Contact me if you would like to purchase any of the supplies needed.)
First twist the pipe cleaners end to end. Take some green wool roving and wrap tightly around the pipe cleaners, needle felting as you go to hold it in place. Once it is covered, set it aside, and felt 5 small flower discs adding the yellow centers. Now, felt them directly onto the green stem. Make a couple of green felted leaves (I did 4) and felt them to the stem as well.
Twist and bend the garland to fit whatever you are attaching it to. Make an extra flower disc and a few leaves add a pin back or glue to a hair clip for a special little girl.
A lovely all year round basket of flowers no matter what the season. :) Happy Stitching.
ReplyDeleteI love this!! I have a bunch of roving, but kind of a fall person, and it will be fall before I get it done. I am sure it will be beautiful in fall colors (or reds for Christmas) or in your design of spring/summer. Definitely got to make several. Have loved Kindred Spirits forever and still have several of your books and patterns. Thank you so much!!! love always, vickie
