DIY Falling Snowflakes Garland


I mentioned in my previous post on how to decorate your home after Christmas that I made Falling Snowflakes Garland to finish my Winter Vignette. I made mine about 2 feet long to hang over my mirror, but it would also look great 5-6 feet long covering a whole wall.

in order to make this, you'll need:
wooden dowel, fishing line, paper snowflakes, white fluff balls, hot glue gun, large needle

I punched out a bunch of snowflakes using white and light gray card stock. Then, I randomly placed snowflakes and fluff balls on the fishing line. I hot glued the fishing line in between two paper snowflakes. To attach the fluff ball, I used a large needle to string them on and used a small amount of hot glue to keep the balls in place. Making sure each was of varying heights, I then ties each string onto the wooden dowel for hanging. 


To hang the falling snowflakes garland onto my mirror, I simply placed the dowel between the frame and the wall. 



These would also be great to make year round!

The list goes on and on!
