I love creating things out of felt. It’s crazy cheap, comes in an array of colors, and with a dose of creativity can become something beautiful.
Kym from Cobberson + Company created a colorful and festive garland by simply cutting strips of felt, tying them into little bows, and stringing them onto fishing line.
It was a project that came in at less than $10 and is fun to pull out throughout the year for birthdays and other events.
As Kym suggests, you could even customize the colors for specific holidays, like a red and pink garland for Valentine’s Day.
Kym was inspired by the Felted Bows Garland that is no longer available from Anthropologie.

I love all the colors, and you sure can't beat the price of felt!

Super cute! I love crafts that are so customizable. Another thing I like about felt is that it can be packed away easily, and looks great again when you unpack it the next time -- no worrying about something being smashed or torn.
