Firstly I’d like to say a big thank you to the fabulous Annabel from Love My Dress for featuring this tutorial last week :-) Following on from the Sping shoot and the other DIY tutorials, i bring you this little new sew garland DIY.

Using garlands to decorate your venue way is a sweet and easy way to add prettiness. For my garland I choose mismatched fabrics and yellow bakers twine, which creates super cute look. You can choose a certain colour scheme if you wish or a different shape fabric; the result will be great either way. It’s so easy to do, you’ll be making lots of them hehe! :-)

7. Leave to dry and it’s all complete. If you wish tie a knot at each end for a neat loop or tie into the desired position.
