Pinterest Inspired: Bow Garland

Isn't the internet a wonderful thing. You can see and learn so many things. I find it to be inspiring. This past week, I catching up on a blog I personally adore, Dear Lizzy. She is so creative and her post on a DIY Garland was just the ticket I needed to get my creativity back. My goal now is to post at least once a week. I know, lofty.  :)

This project is so easy. If you have a Silhouette or Cameo machine, you just find the design you want, have the machine cut it for you, and then glue it all together. If you don't have one of these machines, find a template and cut it out by hand. Lord knows that's what I used to do before I got my Silhouette 5 years ago.

This project took me a total of 3 days. Projects don't happen over night. I can't seem to get a project done in one day to save my life. This was good though, because I had help and input from my two helpers. This would've gone a lot quicker had I been doing it by myself. But, isn't it more fun when you have cutie pies like this helping? OK, OK, let's be honest-  that's debatable. Even though I have girls, they sure can fight with each other with the best of them. This project, while easy, was not made without blood, sweat, and tears.            

I ended up cutting a lot more than I probably needed to, but I'll use the extras for other things. Kaitlyn might get one in her room, or I'll keep them around for gifts or cards. They're 3D, so they're kinda extra fancy.
