garland from fall into winter

So I’ve wanted to create a burlap | pinecone garland for awhile now.

One that I can use for fall | Thanksgiving and take right into my Christmas decor…..

and today was the day.

This is all I used.

Burlap ribbon, small | medium-ish pinecones, twine, needle & scissors.

I cut the burlap ribbon into strips so I could fold it over about 6 times.

Each fold is about 3 inches wide.

It’s not an exact science.

I did not measure once.

I  just eyeballed it as I went.

I used 7 strips of the folded burlap ribbon & 8 pinecones.

I simply threaded the twine thru the middle of the folded burlap

And then wrapped it twice around each pinecone, leaving it a bit loose.

 You can decide how tight or loose you would like it.

Simply alternate between burlap & pinecones & then tie knots at each end.

I love how it looks.

Simple. Rustic.  No fuss.

But at the same time it finished off the mantel perfectly.

When Thanksgiving is over I can simply add greenery and viola a Christmas garland.

I got my burlap ribbon at Michael’s a few weeks ago when it was 3 rolls for the price of one.

Not sure if the promotion is still running but thought Id share.
