Have you been out looking for Christmas garland yet this year? Maybe you're completely decorated already? I just started and my house renovations are almost finished... 

Yep, I'm at it again with another holiday garland you can make for less! 
This time I visited Hobby Lobby for my supplies... There was a 66% off sale on Christmas and I knew I would never get out of there alive but I went! 
I filled my cart with supplies of all kinds to create Christmas crafts for less. 
Today I'm creating a Christmas gnome garland that is both simple and adorable...

I'm officially naming myself the self proclaimed Queen of DIY garland. 
No, seriously, I love making garlands and especially Christmas garlands of all kinds. At the end of this post you can find a link to many of my DIY garlands. 
They are probably the easiest projects to make with the biggest bang!  Hang them on hooks, racks, trees... anywhere. 
Today I'm making a beautiful faux mercury glass rag garland for a grand total of one dollar! Take a look...

Beaded garlands are so easy to make, its like making a necklace! 😂
The three beaded garlands I am making today are perfect for decorating a tree or just hanging around on a peg shelf. 
It all started with a trip to the thrift store and those mystery bags they have hanging on the wall that were filled with Christmas treasures! 
Take a look ...

When I saw this idea online I couldn't believe the price they were asking! I could make this for pennies, in 10 minutes, and I'm going to show you how! 

This project is a teaching lesson for all of us. If you've got kids or grandchildren you probably use a lot of these plastic lids! 

Today I'm talking EASY Christmas decor!
If you've been around a while you may know that I love garlands, especially bell garlands. I string them all over my house! 
I'm creating a very easy garland and I'm taking a few short cuts! 
This bell garland is an easy and quick project that will look great hanging just about anywhere this season!

DIY black and white buffalo check garland for my  Christmas mantelis my plan today. 

Did you ever buy something from the thrift store 
and not know what it was?

This is a fun and easy project to use up all those small scraps of fabric you've been saving.

If you've ever seen the felt trivets at Trader Joes then you're going to love this project! 
I love those colorful trivets made from what look like small felt balls, I wanted try and make them myself. 
I waited for Michaels to have a big sale and I was on it! Today was the day!

Today I'm creating the cutest large pallet wood Christmas tree for you! 
Well actually not pallet wood, it was leftover wood that secured a large box for furniture, I guess you could call it pallet wood. Wood from an actual pallet will do the same. 
Anyway, I created as I went with not much of a plan here and was pleasantly surprised in the end when I had a large sturdy, rustic wooden Christmas tree that I loved! 
Take a look...

I am on a Boho roll lately... 
Creating projects for my home that are not only handmade but use natural elements. 
Today I'm creating a stick garland from a repurposed thrift store find and it couldn't be easier or cuter! 
If you love the runner it is available on Amazon. 
See how easy it is to create with natural elements for your home...

Here is a quick and easy, last minute garland you can make for a little more than $2 from the Dollar Tree.  I was there today looking for some last minute stocking stuffers and I ran across a package of small silver ornaments... 

The ornament pack had about 15 little plastic silver ornaments for $1.25, yep, the new price at Dollar Tree! 
As you scroll through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links for more Homeroad information and the products I used for this project. 



I bought a roll of white sparkly ribbon and the package of ornaments because I had a great last minute craft idea. 
I pulled out all the ribbon on the roll and found the center. 



Next, I tied on one of the ornaments in the center. 
The ornaments in the above link are the same ones from Amazon. 
I went down both side…

I saw the cutest cardboard stars made by Living Inspiration on Instagram and I knew I had to give them a try! With a small twist of course!  
Everyone has cardboard tubes, toilet paper tubes, paper towel tubes, even gift wrap tubes. Today I'm giving a couple of those a try and creating a beautiful garland and ornaments with them.
Come take a peek...

I made the cutest mini garland today on a whim. 
I had no plans to do this, I had my new watercolor paints out and it just kind of happened. 
This garland is so tiny and is great to hang on small places like a small wreath. 
You may even have everything you need at home right now! 
Take a look...

Just in case you've missed anything Christmas going on at Homeroad I've created a photo look back at what I was up to this month. 
I wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Blessed Everything!

Once you decide you're taking down the Christmas decorations you're left with nothing... or are you?  Here is a quick and easy dollar store project you can do in no time and leave up all winter! ...

Orange slices make beautiful holiday decorations but are not just for Christmas and can be left up all winter for a sweet smell and a beautiful look! Today I'm going to show you how to make an easy to make orange slice garland.

Those of you hard core vintage folks might want to cover your eyes for this one. 
But the truth is that this vintage soda crate sat in my basement for the past 10 years doing nothing. 
As a matter of fact I have 2 so I am sacrificing the vintage factor on this to create an adorable Christmas crate that we will use for years to come!
