Blossoming Flower Garland Idea

Isn’t this just dreamy? I don’t know why it never occurred to me that the chandelier in my stair well, as well as the banister are perfect places to hang seasonal decorations! In fact, other than painting this space peacock blue, (which I still love even three years later) I have yet to figure out how to decorate the space, so some beautiful garlands certainly give the space some life!

Sure looks like Spring time in this stairwell! And these would be great party decorations for just about any occasion, though I won’t try to deceive you and say they were quick to make, because making a large quantity like I did (maybe at least 12 meters worth) requires quite a bit of time, though well worth it!

One of the really interesting things about this garland project is the material that I used. Disposable tablecloth yardage! If you’re not familiar with this creation, it’s the same fabric used in hospital masks and bibs, only available in every color to suit your party decor.

The great thing about it is that it’s not woven, so there is no unraveling, and it is semi translucent, so it looks a bit like tissue paper. And of course it’s much cheaper than most fabric. And if you’re lucky maybe you can even recycle some non-soiled ones from the next party where they happen to be using such a thing. (Very common in Israel.)

Here’s How:

Cut all kinds of shapes like flowers, circles, leaf shapes etc from disposable table cloth material.
Shapes needn’t be perfect, and you can certainly cut at least 10 layers of fabric at a time, so the shapes add up quickly.
And now for the fun part: Sew the shapes together by running them through the sewing machine, quickly placing one after another, and not worrying about lining things up! The randomness is what makes them look like falling blossoms, at least to me!
Hang strings of blooms vertically or horizontally and enjoy!

Thanks Sara for letting us show off your lovely project!
