Ga Ga for Garland


No matter the holiday or occassion, I love to hang garland. Banner garland to be exact, though tree garland is lovely. You don't need a fireplace, you can use any wall. Hung in front of a mirror on the wall or across a window are my favorites.   



Whether made of lace, fabric, cardstock or repurposed materials, a simple statement becomes a keepsake to be used year after year. You'll never hang a store bought banner again!



Etsy has the most choices for handmade banner / garland.



Simple or lavished with glitter and tulle. Hung from twine, ribbon or sew together.



Be inspired to create your own.


Express yourself






Felt and binding




You don't need to say words to make a statement. Try hearts for Valentines, eggs for Easter, stars to celebrate the 4th or flowered garland to usher in Spring.




Try tissue pom poms or felt balls for everyday. The possiblities are endless.
