Here are all the supplies you need to make a festive garland:
-Stitch Dies -grab the llama and the cactus dies made in collaboration with Neat and Tangled.
-Benzie Felt -try a palette of bright colors with the addition of Linen for the the llama.
-For extra sparkle -add in sequins and glitter felt! We used black seed beads for the llamas eyes!
-Assorted felt poms in extra small and small. We used the colors Tangerine, Magenta, Aqua and Leaf.
-Bright colored embroidery floss -don't forget the linen colored floss to stitch up the llama!
-Polyfil & a stuffing stick
1.) First cut out your shapes using the cactus and llama die. You will need two shapes per side. Reference this blog post to find out more about die cutting!
2.) Grab coordinating or contrasting floss -we used 3 strands and the running stitch to stitch our friends up. If you are new to stitching or stitch dies -read up on your options! Don't forget to leave a space to add in polyfil! You'll find the stuffing tool useful in getting into small spaces!
3.) embellish with pom, sequins and tassels! It's a fiesta! Quick tip -use this special glue to attach the sequins!
Make a garland by sewing the cactus and llama with embroidery floss and small size wool poms.
Or make a diorama and put the cactus in a pot!
