paper garland. what is it good for?


when i had a booth at my first craft show i had a few people ask what they could use garland for besides decorating a Christmas tree. i did have one customer buy enough to decorate their tree. it looked great, but there are other options too.

the first time i made it was for eliza's birthday and i draped it around our apartment. in doorways and around the windows. i also hung some up in the bathrooms during the Christmas season.

i had a customer order a bunch of it for her daughter's candy land themed birthday. in addition to decorating the apartment we hung some vertically and made a fun curtain around the food table. i love how it turned out!

it would also make a good backdrop for pictures. i'm thinking behind a child during their first birthday cake smashing.
