sand dollar garland {a tutorial}

I love this garland for many reasons…it’s easy and fast, inexpensive, and adds a subtle dose of Summer to your home and your decor…

Materials:
Sand Dollars (use this ebay search to find them inexpensively) 
Twine (I used jute twine, but baker’s twine would do)

Step 1: Take your first sand dollar, and thread your twine through the center hole. Tie an overhand knot with your twine, so the sand dollar is secure. Continue threading your twine and tying knots until all your sand dollars are secure (I used 5 sand dollars, but use as many as you’d like).

Step 2: After your knots are tied, gently push your knots behind each sand dollar so they aren’t visible.

Step 3: Knot each end of your garland, and you’re done!

 

I love how this turned out! I can think of so many places to hang one of these cuties…mantels, windows, empty frames…you can even wrap it around a gift for a fun and summery touch!

I absolutely love how it turned out!!. I had exactly 5 sand dollars leftover from a project I did last year that I had no idea what to do with. I just sat down with some twine and made a garland myself. Thanks for the idea. :)
