An easy way to make your Christmas décor festive, without spending too much money is by using these two items: felt and hemp string (or any other string you have around the house.)

Felt is such a forgiving craft material and I love creating with it, and so do my kids!

You can hang the garland over your mirror, artwork or mantel.

Instructions:

Head to our local craft store, and select your colors

Cut felt pieces to 1 inch-1.5 inch x 8 inch strips for each color.

The amount of strips will depend on how long you want your garland to be.

Tie each strand onto the string. As you gather more and more pieces of felt on the string, push them together so your garland will be full of volume.
