Ingredients

Instructions

  • Arrange your felt balls in the order you will string them. You can string out the colors any way you like; I spaced them approximately 1" apart.
    Felt balls, embroidery floss, scissors
  • Open the embroidery floss. The floss should be about 8 - 9 yards long, and you'll cut in half.

  • Tie a knot at one end, leaving a 9" tail or so.
    Tying a knot in embroidery thread
  • String a felt ball onto the floss using the tapestry needle. Push the needle through the center of the ball and to the knot.

  • Continue stringing felt balls onto the floss, doing several at a time.

  • Once you have several balls on the garland, space them out about 1" apart. Continue stringing balls onto the garland until you get it to the length you want (mine is 8 feet long).

  • Once you get to the last ball, tie off the end in a knot and trim with the scissors. Your garland is ready to hang.

I used 48 felt balls, .78" width. Also note that estimated completion times are for pre-made balls.
