Christmas is upon us, and this year I won’t be able to do much. My new place will be available for move-in on Christmas eve, so I’ll be making the 9-hour drive to Denver and moving into my new place. There’s always next year. In the meantime, I can still make decorations for next year. My new place will be a lot smaller, so I won’t have room for a tree but I can still put up garland and lights. To make it easier on myself with moving I haven’t been doing a lot of shopping. Since I’m downsizing I’ve been focusing on decluttering and using things up. And one thing I have way too much off is felt. I use it a lot in my craft projects and it’s cheap, so I have piles of it.
In order to use up some felt and mark decorations for next year, I decided to make a holiday-inspired felt garland. It’s an easy holiday craft project that can go around your tree or be hung on your mantel. For now, my holiday felt garland will join my other decorations until next year. But if you’re looking for a quick and easy holiday project to decorate your home with that’s quick and easy, then look no further. I’ve got you covered!
