how to make the most beautiful felt flower garland

the most beautiful felt floral garland (and how to make one!)One of Piper’s favorite pastimes is flipping through wedding magazines whilst sitting on a beach or lounging by a pool. She is her mama’s daughter, that one.

the most beautiful felt floral garland (and how to make one!)I wanted to figure out how to make one for her Unicorn Party, and when I mentioned it to her, she said, “And then I’ll hang it in my room forever, right?”

a whole pile of handmade unicorns (and the most beautiful felt floral garland!)And this is it y’all.

To make one-

the most beautiful felt floral garland (and how to make one!)Hand stitch leaves onto the sides of the garland. Pinch each leaf at the base as you sew to make the leaves more realistic and less flat.

the most beautiful felt floral garland (and how to make one!)Instead of sewing these onto the garland directly, I added ties to the back of each flower. That way we can reposition the flowers, or even take them off altogether, to suit various color palettes.
