The Scrappy Ribbon Garland
To celebrate another successful Christmas season for Whitney Caroline Designs, I decided to take all of this year's ribbon scraps and make something wonderful! With the help of two strands of Christmas lights, I believe I have done just that! So, after several hours of tying and trimming, I proudly present, "The Scrappy Ribbon Garland!"

Oh what a fun idea! I just found you at "Southern Hospitality." Your cute icon caught my eye, and then I saw that "great minds think alike" as we both chose the "Cutest Blog on the Block" background too! :-) The swag looked like a lot of fun to make and it looks so festive displayed! Thanks for a great idea! :-)

ReplyDeleteI love this! I am gonna make one for my daughters room!!! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteReally cute idea! I found you through Pinterest. I love ribbon so this is a great excuse to buy some more or use up what I have!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I found you through Pinterest. I love ribbon so this is a great way to use it with endless possibilities! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I am so tired of my overused garland of 8 years that I am ditching all of it and am going to make a few strand of this. Well, maybe not ditch it but at least give it a rest for a year or so.
ReplyDeletePam
This is super cool! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I found this in Pinterest and just have to say that I LOVE this idea. I'm a bit of a sucker for do it yourself lighting, and the colors are so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteLove it having rehearsal dinner at home. Will do it with the wedding colors. Thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I don't have ribbon scraps, but I do have fabric and will try it with fabric strips.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Every year I buy myself a new set of Garland lights for my bed in the sale. This year I didn't manage to and I'm glad because I'm going to make this!!!!!!
ReplyDeletejust saw this on pinterest and i'm thinking about trying it for a lighting option in my daughter's "big girl bedroom" transformation this spring! thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI found this on Pinterest...one of my first pins. And I saved it for the right time. I live in an apartment...with typical white walls and white miniblinds. I am using this idea to make swags on my windows and to bring color into the drab living room! I am making mine with fabric strips that match the colors in the room...yeah...rainbow! If possible, I'll try to find a way to send you a photo when I am done! Thanks for the great idea! Annie Fentz ~*
