i’m dumbfounded i didn’t think of this before … i love these felt garlands … i’m always looking for more but they do seem to run slightly on the pricey side, especially if you want more than one. i was at a craft supply store the other day looking for something when i saw these packages of colorful felt balls for just a few dollars … and then in hit me … why don’t i just make my own?! you guys, this is seriously the simplest and by far best thing i’ve done all year. it took me ten minutes and maybe ten dollars and i had myself a perfectly colorful and special felt ball garland ready for the holiday season.
all you’ll need is: some felted balls, a sharp needle, and some embroidery floss. the hardest part of this whole project was threading the needle with the embroidery floss. simply string them together until you get a length you’re happy with, then tie loops on either side of the string to end. i really only like these sort of projects if they are somewhat simple to complete … this one takes the cake.
so cute! I absolutely love this. Where did you find the felt balls?

This is awesome! I'll have to try this out myself soon. I'm thinking white and gold felt balls (if i can find them) might be on the tables for a cute Christmas decoration this year. Thanks for sharing! x
i've actually been eyeing these on etsy. so pretty!
Love it! So adorable!
Ah they're so fun!
Lovely!
Looking that cosy and airy they deserve their place with no holidays around too;-)
looks very pretty!

I'm in love. This looks so cute and festive. And i really really like your pictures.
Think I give it a try. 🙂
Adorable. I love your photographs.
Do the balls slide along the string? I love it though, I may have to do something similar this winter too.

Thank you, Hannah! No they don't … you can move the balls along the string with your hand but they don't move on their own.

what a fabulous idea! i need to try this!
i love the colours. i'm not DIY-ing or anything close to that, but this seems very do-able, even for a hopeless crafty like me
I just made one a month ago for my kitchen. I made the felt balls myself though. It was fifteen feet long and took me forever. So worth it though.
Oh I LOVE this. I really need to start getting into holiday DIYs.
