USA Garland

I tried my hand at a DIY garland for Patriotic holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, etc...). As you can imagine, this can be tedious, and sometimes things don't turn out exactly how we imagine... but I'll let you be the judge! It's a cute little garland that will serve its' purpose for these red, white, and blue holidays! Sooner or later, I may re-do this too.

I started by collecting paint chips from Walmart. They're free and useful! Other supplies I used were scissors, yarn, and a hole punch. I think next time I would use something a little stronger than yarn (potentially wire??).

 

I went through and elementary school style folded the pieces of the paint chips in half to make symmetrical stars. I went a little overboard and made a few too many, haha!

Then I simply hung it on the yarn, knotting it around the letters/stars so they couldn't slide around as easily.
