The Nester is having a show & tell with garland today~she is all about taking plain green garland and froofing it up with whatever you have about the house. I loved hers when I saw it and knew I wanted to fluff mine up. I took a plain green garland, added some clear lights, gathered some white berries that are on my mantle all year, some red sticks of berries from Target's global bazaar clearance last year, and some greenery garland from Hobby Lobby.
I am in love with gold stars this year. These were plain paper mache ones from Hobby Lobby (.50 each on sale) that I just spray painted gold. I was hoping I could tell you they were half off this week, but they're not.
Then, just tuck here and there and froof up your tired green garland.
Mine isn't as big and grand as some, but I love it so much more than a plain green garland and is about all that would fit on our mantle shelf above the fireplace.
Even your wreath on the closet door!
There is a whole party of garlands over at the Nester's. Go check them out! Thanks for stopping by...and happy froofing!
Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!!!!! I love it all!

ReplyDeleteThat looks so good! I meant to put berries in mine, too, but forgot until I saw your's. Hmmm...maybe I can find some at Michael's this morning. I *love* the color of the brick on your fireplace.
