While I’m loving on my baby boy, my bff Erin, has volunteered to do a guest post for you! She has a six month old baby girl, Lexi, and made the CUTEST garland for her play room. Enjoy!
Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m posting for Julie while she’s loving
on her sweet, sweet baby boy. Julie and I go way, way back (like ALL the way
back to college), and she’s remained one of my closest, and bestest
friends-even if she ditched me and moved to Michigan, fell in love, got married
to a handsome-funny man, and now has an adorable baby.

Now
back to this no-sew garland I promised to tell you
about. I got a sewing machine last year for Christmas, and I’ve only
managed to
master a straight line (if you don’t look too closely) so when a cute
project
comes my way that involves not using my sub-par sewing abilities I get
REALLY
excited. We’re in the middle of creating a play-room for our 6 month old
daughter, and the space needed some pizzaz and a pop of color (not to
mention it makes an excellent photo back-drop)-enter the no-sew garland.

Second step. Cut garland into strips 1 inch wide by 14
inches long. I HIGHLY recommend using a rotary cutter thingy. . . otherwise
your hands might cramp and you need un-cramped hands for the amount of tying
you’ll be doing. . .

Step 3. Tie the garland on the ribbon. Place the fabric in a

Lexi loves her garland! Thanks Erin!
