Finally I decided I may as well get to look at all the lovely prints, so I used my layer cake to make this fun & easy garland. After my complicated 3 day hat tutorial, I decided this was just the thing to counteract all that math and ease us into the weekend.
Now pay attention, because it's really complicated. Grab a layer cake. Fold your square in half, so it makes a triangle. Knot the ends of the triangle together with another one. You still with me? Keep doing that. You're done.
This way I can see all that loveliness whenever I want, all strung up around my craft room. And with no cuts or seams, I haven't committed to anything. Though I'm fairly certain that when I do work up the gall to sew this fabric, I'm going to straight up copy this:

Why mess with perfection?






CUUUUUTE. We did my daughter's room in wonderland fabrics! Funny, my craft room is the least decorated room in the house. Great idea!
ReplyDeletePuuuuuuurty! And I LOVE Film in the Fridge. And thanks for my vocab. lesson of the day! All in all, a successful post.
ReplyDeleteOh, fabulous and quick...my kind of project. I may have to steal this idea for my youngest daughter's birthday party next weekend. The kiddos will enjoy working on the project together.
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea!
ReplyDeleteCute! I like that you can untie it and use the fabric. Great thinking!
