Simple Winter Garland

If you are anything like me, you probably aren’t ready to say goodbye to the feeling given by the extra greenery and lights of the holiday season. I packed away all of my Christmas decor this past weekend and I decided I still wanted to have some garlands up around our home. I came up with a simple swag using the boxwood garlands and dried eucalyptus I already had on hand from the holidays. The only new items I purchased were two lambs ear vines from the Target Dollar Spot. (they were $5 each.) I put together a little tutorial for you below. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

I started by removing the pine from the boxwood garland. I had twisted together two inexpensive swags to give the appearance of a more lush garland.

This is what the boxwood and lambs ear garlands look like on their own.

I simply twisted them together. These are both wire based, so they are quite easy to manipulate.

I twisted until the end of each garland. I tried to alternate the boxwood bunches with the lambs ear leaves.

I attached the combined garlands to my dining room shelves using command hooks.

I carefully removed the dried eucalyptus stems from my Christmas floral arrangements. It is pretty delicate after being dried for over a month.

I stuck the dried stems into sparse looking areas of the garland to give it a fuller, more lush appearance.

Make sure to get the leaves of all the garlands and stems facing in the same direction to give a more unified, natural appearance.

And that is it! Super simple and the perfect little winter pick me up. Please share your designs with me when you do your own!
