Handmade Moss Garlands

I have some suggestions about how you can enjoy your handmade moss garlands year round. It can be redecorated for every season and will give you so many opportunities to be creative!

For Valentine's Day, I've added some small brown heart ornaments and draped a bit of lace across it's branches. This is a subtle change, still very natural, but it gives it a fresh look now, and you can add more decoration closer to Valentines day. You could add some extra ribbon in a colour that complements your decor, keeping with the natural, romantic palette. These colours go with most decor anyways. A tawny pink or cream or muted burgundy would be very nice. Also, past Valentines can be hung from it by gluing a loop of ribbon on the backs. It a great way to display those reminders of love year after year. If you haven't any past valentines, why not cut out some photographs of loved ones and mount them onto some handmade paper? Be sure to let them know how much they mean to you!

Have fun, and be sure to post your own ideas! I haven't been here very long, but I've seen a lot of creativity in Moose Jaw. I love hearing the ideas you guys have when you come in to visit!
