How To Make Cotton Ball Garland

A s much as i love to decorate my budget isn t always as big as my love for christmas decor.

How to make cotton ball garland. One piece of advice. Pretty sure my table top tree would be. A practically free christmas craft. Pull the string through and continue until you have enough for your tree.

The basic process is to dip pieces of wool roving into warm sudsy water and then shape into balls. I use regular white sewing thread through the needle and created about a 3 foot section and knotted it. Then you ll let them dry overnight before creating your felt ball garland you can get more details here on the process. I love rustic christmas trees.

End result looks like a pom pom garland but for pennies. Carefully string your needle right through the center of the cotton ball. Start off with one large cotton ball. The process is very similar to using the roving but you re going to have to work the material a little more.

I draped the garland on the tree and gently adjusted any cotton balls that slid. I made 5 of these and we just pushed the needle through the cotton ball leaving about a 1 inch space between each ball. You can also make your balls using felt sheets or scraps of felt sheets or yarn scraps. Oh christmas tree oh christmas tree.

Using felt sheets or yarn scraps. You ll still want to. Diy cotton ball garland.
