Christmas Art

I know; it is probably a little bit early to be thinking about Christmas decorations. I do think however, that the best time making them, is whenever you have the inspiration.

Learning from my previous experiences; postponing often results in not doing it at all. Especially around that time, we are often way too busy with all the preparations and there simply is hardly any time for much crafting.

This decoration is crafted from a knitted garland, cut to the desired length and sewn together at the top and bottom. A little hook attached on top enables it to hang on the wall.

The decorations on the garland are made from small Styrofoam balls in which squares of fabric are pushed, covering the entire surface. Pins with a pearl top are cut to size with a pair of pliers and stuck in the middle of each square. The finished product is then hot glued on the garland.

A few artificial leaves are glued around the middle one and a bow on top of the others are the finishing touches. I happened to find a little, gold colored angel which I sewed on the bottom. All that is left to do, is wait for Christmas.

I can already hear the sleigh bells ring. Oh wait, that's the bell on the little angel!
