Make your own flower garland to match your theme. Garland can be hung from lights, ceilings, mantles, tables, and more.
How to make it: Purchase fabric Gerber Daisy’s from a craft store. If you have a local dollar store, buy your flowers there.
Separate your flower heads from their stems. With a heavy gauge needle and heavy thread such as, bead string, or fishing line- string the flowers together by running your needle and string through the back of each one. You can space the flowers close together, or leave a space of 1-2 inches, between each one.
After you have completed your string of flowers, tie each end off and hang garland in your favorite spot. You can use paper cut-outs, pine cones, fabric leaves, beads, plastic snow flakes or any other creative idea you can think of.
