A little while ago I found a tutorial for a cute Christmas garland (source) and just had to make my own, smaller version of it!
I haven’t decorated for Winter much around our home so far. Usually I don’t get in the mood to decorate for Christmas until after my birthday (which will be on Thursday — hint, hint). This little snowflake garland is the perfect craft for me, though! It’s very nifty, thrifty and not too Christmassy tacky. ;)
What you’ll need:
- paper (letter size or A4)
- printed pattern
- pencil
- small sharp scissors or x-acto knife
- glue stick
- twine
- optional: wood buttons for each side

Thank you for your sweet message! :) xo!
This is so sweet! I am so trying to un-christmas our decorations, but we have so many that have been given to us…and the boys love it…it’ll probably be years before I can really simplify…This is a perfect nod to the holidays!
