DIY Color Block Ornament Garland
Rethink the average holiday decor tradition with this easy DIY Color Block Ornament Garland to dress up your home for the season!
As to not leave you hanging for too long (no pun intended), here’s the full tutorial for yesterday’s DIY Color Block Ornament Garland from our crafting party with Martha Stewart Living.
Assembling the garland is as simple as stringing the ornament hooks through wired ribbon.. or in our case, felted wool rope.
We offered guests two options so that they could choose either a more sophisticated look with silver wired ribbon or a more playful look with the felted wool rope.
Fair warning though, this bad boy takes a TON of bulbs to make it full.
So stock up beforehand!
(Because even if you have leftover bulbs, you can repurpose them into a unique gift tag.)
Materials and Tools Needed to Make DIY Ornament Garland
Ornaments — We used the holiday frost collection from Martha Stewart and paints.
Wired ribbon or felted wool rope or cotton cord rope
Scissors
How to Make a DIY Ornament Garland
Step 1 — The quickest and easiest way (always good to know, right?) is to loop a set of three bulbs together on an ornament hook.
Step 2 — And then, twist the hook around your rope or ribbon.
We created this one to have six bulbs for each color.
But you can do as many or as little as you’d like.
Step 3 — Once you’ve grouped one color on the garland, continue with groups of the following until you’ve got it as long as you’d like.
Step 4 — Then, clip the ribbon or rope and knot it at the ends of the bulbs.
Now all you have to do is hang or drape it in place!
