I love garlands! They are some of my favorite decorations, so when I stumbled upon this felt garland tutorial from Rebekah of Twinkle and Twine, I had to write about it.
The best thing about this felt letter garland is that there is a “sew” and a “no-sew” version, so for the non-sewers like me, there’s no need to feel intimidated. How great would this look on your mantle or even wrapped up as a holiday gift?



Check out the whole felt letter garland tutorial here.
Thank you, Rebekah, for creating this tutorial and introducing me to the wonders of freezer paper.

I just started a team on Etsy called Catch My Party. It’s open to ANY Etsy shop owner who sells party related products AND who joins the free Catch My Party vendor directory.
I’m also kicking off our first Etsy Team Designer Challenge for the holidays. The theme is “snowflakes.”
By entering and designing items that incorporate the theme, not only will you get a chance to show off your handmade “snowflake” holiday goods on our site, but you could also win an HP Officejet 7500A Printer.

So here’s how you enter:
- Have an Etsy shop
- List yourself in our free Catch My Party vendor directory: catchmyparty.com/vendors (Click on the light blue link in the upper right-hand corner of the page that says “Add your listing to our vendor directory.” If you’re not a member, please join our site, then head back to the vendor page to fill in your info. Once you’re done you should see your listing immediately on our vendor page.)
- Add your handmade snowflake-themed items to your Etsy shop by midnight (PST) November 30th and tag them “CMPsnowflake.”
- You will automatically be entered into our HP Officejet 7500A Printer giveaway.
After the deadline, we will feature all your snowflake items on our site. I will also be posting my top 10 favorites.
Then I will do a random drawing on Thursday, December 1st to determine the winner of our printer giveaway!
Happy crafting! I can’t wait to see what you come up with! And please share this challenge with all your Etsy teams and Etsy circles.
