Cotton Garland

Yesterday while at JoAnn's (a very dangerous store for me), I found some really cute stuff on clearance (75% off...booyah!) which prompted an idea--a garland! It took awhile and I ended up covered in glitter, but in the end it turned out super cute.

All of the supplies I started with.

I really loved the cotton, so I knew I had to do something with it.

First, I took it all apart and manipulated the cotton to look like this, almost like branches.

I wrapped the "branches" so they all connected.

This is when they are all connected, making a long garland-style base.

I punched these leaves out beforehand and attached them with hot glue.

I also added a little sparkle with this cute ribbon.

A rough idea of what each section will look like with the leaves and ribbon.

I did buy some tulle that was not on clearance, but I had a 50% off coupon, I layered six layers of the tulle and used the ribbon to form a bow.

I also glued these one every few feet.

I repeated every section with the bows until the garland was finished.

The finished product.
