DIY garland for under $15




Hey y’all! So as you’ve probably realized by now, if you want the “good” Christmas decor then you have to start shopping for it at the beginning of November. I made the mistake and did not and then was unable to find garland that I like that wasn’t $30 a strand. So I decided to buy what target had- the cheap $4 garland and spruce it up myself.



Since this garland is very thin on its own I bought two and tied them together with the metal pieces that are at the end of each strand to give it a more full look. After fluffing the garland out I wrapped these lights around the garland and hung it on my mantle (I may or may not have used thumb tacks). After it was hung I went back in and added some berries (similar here) that I had used in my tree a few years ago so I decided to cut those up and add them to the garland to just give it an extra pop. I cut them longer than I needed them and just stuck them into the garland where I wanted them. From start to finish it took me 15 min which the majority of the time was spent fluffing the garland. But there you have it! 

I hope you enjoyed this short and sweet post!
