Whether you’re aiming for a grand work-of-art, or perhaps a bit more like me and relish in the simple (and quick), there’s no wrong way to whip up some floral magic that’s sure to brighten any day.
citrus slice garland
Years ago, in hopes of luring certain birds to my garden, I hung up strands of orange garlands throughout my garden. While they didn’t end up attracting one single bird, they did capture my heart.
Birch bark garland
After years of collecting birch bark off our woodland floor, I finally found a wonderful way to incorporate it into our home…garlands!
