Lately our house has been a garland making factory. A couple of months ago I saw this adorable coffee filter garland around the web and was dying to recreate it.
When I got our new headboard I knew we had the perfect spot for one of these whimsical beauties. I thought it would be fun to add some color to our bedroom so I used silver cupcake liners and a mix of yellow fabric I found at a thrift store.
I cut the yellow fabric to be the same sized circles as the cupcake liner and strung them on to some crochet yarn. I hot glued every other circle so they wouldn't slide around.
I love the color that it adds to our bedroom and decided to continue my love for these garlands and use them as decoration at our wedding reception.
Our reception is taking place in a building that my grandfather owns. We're renovating the second floor and it will be customized just for us!
The ceiling is getting fixed, the floor is getting refinished, the walls will be painted, & the room will be rewired.
I've been tea dying coffee filters and Jus & I have been stringing them together. We're making 10 garlands that are 26 feet long, and if you're thinking that's a lot of coffee filters, you'd be right.

We spent 10 hours working on these this weekend and I love the way they're turning out.
Leftover Valentine's Day heart garland & coffee filter garland
Lately I've been looking for a garland to replace the heart garland we have hanging between our kitchen and living room and today at Target I found the perfect replacement!
As soon as I spotted this six pack of paper fans I knew I had to go home and put some craftiness to work. I opened each fan and hot glued the attached strings to the next fan.
I ended up using two packs of these fans and had three left over that I hot glued together to make a decoration for our back door.
I love how summery these make our house look and expect that Target will be running out of these beauties soon.
Have you made anything for your home lately?
