A little while back I was talking about all the advent and garlands in blog land; well, here is mine. I'm almost done with it; a few more need to be sewn on the right side, but they may wait until after Christmas. I'm too busy to finish it now. Just wanted to post it before the holiday. Made from 3 sizes of yo-yos buttons and tassels, two colors of tassels -- it is hard to see in photos. I thought the shelf below which we hang our socks was too plain ,and I needed something long to fill the space up. Thus this idea. This actually isn't all the way finished; it needs a few more yo-yos on the right side; that is why there are no photos from that angle.
If you want to see the shelf before garland go here.

Such lovely and unique garlands. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful garland. Did you make it up? At first, I thought all the buttons were plastic jug lids, like milk! I like the reindeer look in the middle.
ReplyDeleteSunshine,
ReplyDeleteThat garland came out real cute, but then everything you make comes out perfect. What a good idea to use the yo yo's.I bet your whole house looks so pretty.

You are most gifted......That garland is a definate winner.
ReplyDeleteI love that Sunshine! Can you believe, I have never made a yo-yo! Maybe that will be my New Year's resolution!
ReplyDeleteto Pam : thank you for the compliment.
ReplyDeleteTo susan : Yes I made it up as I went along. Still trying to figure out the milk jug thing. There are just real big buttons. In real life it doesn't look like a reindeer the photo is a little off as there are lots of red buttons that didn't seem to show up in the photos.
