How to Make a Ball Garland

A quick cut wire is an ideal material to use to put together the christmas balls to form a garland.  I found it in the floral section at Joanns.  It has a built-in cutter that makes it very convenient to use.

After stringing the christmas balls onto the quick cut wire, I can now easily wrap it around the christmas tree branches.

Christmas Countdown

52 days to go, but it starts today for our little family!  Right after Halloween I start googling and planning  for this year's theme.  The past two years I had a gold and silver theme and now our family thinks we should move on to a more colorful one.

Here is last year's silver and gold tree:

I like this more organized and compact design where I strung the Christmas balls on to a long floral wire like it is a long garland, and wrapped it around the tree.  Here's a closer look:

 

I used a gold metallic net fabric that I bought at Joanns last year.  I cut it to about 36 x 12 inches size, then  I inserted the net fabric in between the garlands to create a fuller look.

 I added silver and gold berry garland and white poinsettia bouquets that I bought also at Joanns.

I finished it with an angel topper that sat on cream golden bows and gold floral picks.
