DIY From the Magazine: Retro Garland

We were inspired by these images: lace, silk pom-poms

This retro-kitschy garland makes use of a mishmash of beads, baubles and thrift store finds. Work with what's in your environment, whether that means hanging this garland from a vintage car, between trees, or across a reception table or dessert bar. Attach the fabric rosettes, bows, lace and other trimmings - we added a vintage tea cup - to a ribbon of your choice. For an additional DIY treat, wrap wooden letters, whether they spell out your names, "Mr. & Mrs.," "Hitched," or "Just Married," in crocheted doilies, scrap lace or fabric for some added DIY-fun.
