An easy but beautiful Scandinavian-inspired star garland project for you today, perfect for Christmas!
More red, blue and white love for you, Scandi fans! The fabulous Ez from Creature Comforts is here today to share this gorgeous take on a Christmas garland with us. Over to you, Ez.
This project was inspired by the sweet simplicity of Scandinavian holiday decor and I really love how it turned out. You can hang these vertically, drape them horizontally, or even use them to adorn gifts! I hope you’ll have as much fun making these as I did (maybe you’ll even make extras to give as presents).
Creature Comforts
You will need:
- LaDoll Premier Light Weight Stone Clay – I purchased my clay from a local Michael’s craft store, but it is also available online here, and here.
- Rolling pin (nonstick) – You can also use your hands to flatten your clay for a less uniform, more handmade look.
- Mini star cookie cutter – I used the insert of a linzer cookie cutter for my garland, but you can use any size cookie cutter you’d like. The clay in this project dries very light weight and will lend itself well to a wide variety of sizes.
- Sequins (optional) – available at craft stores.
- Hot glue gun & glue sticks – I used the hot variety, but I recommend the low heat varieties for safety reasons.
- Baker’s twine / twine – Baker’s twine can be found just about everywhere online these days (a quick google search should give you plenty of options). Alternately you can use embroidery thread, ribbon, twine, or even dental floss.
- Covered work surface – I used the waxed side of butcher paper to roll out my clay and work on.
