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?? Enter your email address below to get your copy!

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 (see above for your printable copy!)
• 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.

I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving garland!
