Embroidered Christmas Tree Garland

Embroidered Christmas Tree Garland

Christmas is a great time to display all of your crafts and projects. Here is an easy and fun project that you can do to decorate your tree with an embroidered garland. The designs in Starbird's "Christmas Ornaments and Garland" pack have low stitch counts and only one color stop each so they embroider quickly -- in time for the holiday!

 1:

You will need the following designs: "Christmas Stocking Garland" (CD101907FC), "Christmas Star Garland" (CD101907FE), and "Christmas Tree Garland" (CD101907FA), and you can also add text from the "Christmas Text" pack, if you wish. Also gather the following supplies: fabric felt (we used red, gold and green felt), metallic thread (red, gold and green), an 18cm hoop, a thin yarn such as Patons Allure, and a Candlewicking needle (or other large, sharp needle).

 2:

Cut three pieces of felt, all the same color, sized to fit in an 18cm hoop. Stack all three pieces together one on top of the other and hoop together. Add the corresponding metallic thread color to your embroidery machine and also use a matching thread in your bobbin. Embroider one of the designs.

 3:

After the garland shape has been embroidered you can now add text from the "Christmas Text" Design Pack. There are 29 words already sized to fit inside the garland shapes.

 4:

Remove the fabric from the hoop and cut along the outside running stitch thread.

 5:

Once you have made several garland shapes, thread the Patons Allure or other thin yarn through the candlewicking needle and poke through the embroidered circles in the garland shapes so the yarn is in the back.

 6:

Leave a desired amount of space between each shape. Tie off the ends of the garland and trim your tree!
