Sometimes, holidays can sneak up on you, depending on what you have going on in life at the moment.
But, there is something sad about skipping a holiday altogether. So, what’s a girl to do?

I have found that hanging a garland of some sort is the best I can do some year. Well, that and a festive dessert to commemorate said holiday.
But, that’s another blog post.
For today, let’s just tackle the garland idea.

And how about, I throw in a printable, to make life that much easier??

I’ve had my eye on this darling garland idea for about a year, but I found it out of season. So, it had to wait for a more opportune time.
That time has come and I am so excited to share the prices with you!
Printable Thanksgiving Garland

Materials
- Cut out letters to spell “Gather” –any craft store will have these. Mine are from the Walmart Christmas section.
- Gold Glitter– I am using the color Champagne from Joanns
- Elmers Glue or Mod Podge
- Sponge Brush
- Printable Oak Leaf
- Cream Cardstock
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Ribbon for Hanging


Tutorial
- Cover each of our letters in glue and glitter.
- Let dry.
- Meanwhile, print out about six oak leaves on the cream card stock.
- Take 2 plain pieces of card stock under each printed piece and cut out three at a time. I used about 18 leaves for my project.
- Once the letters are dry, hot glue them to singular leaves.
- Arrange the other leaves along a ribbon for hanging and add in the lettered leaves. I bent the non-lettered leaves down the middle to give a little more shape to the garland.
- Glue everything in place with the hot glue.
- Hang on mantle, window, armoire, mirror, bookshelf, bed frame, etc.
- Enjoy!


I hope that was easy enough and that you get a chance to make a Thanksgiving garland soon.

Oh Rhonda, you are so talented. Thank you for taking the time to speak such encouragement over me today. xoxo
I’m reading through some of my saved emails and came across this. In re-reading it, I noticed a typo in the instructions. You said to spell out “garland” instead of “gather.” 🙂
