Hey y'all!
Today I'll be sharing an easy and inexpensive project you can complete in about 10 minutes. And, depending on if your little one is old enough to safely wield a pair of scissors, you can get them involved as well.
Let's get started!
Here's what you'll need:
Scrapbook Paper (Colors of your choice. I chose Orange and Burlap Scrapbook paper for earlier Fall, you can do orange and black, green and purple. Whatever floats your boat.)
Scissors (Michael's)
Spool of ribbon (I used the spool to trace the circle)
Small Clothespins (Target)
Twine (Michael's)
I chose a spool of ribbon I already had in the size I wanted to trace circles on my scrapbook paper. I bought two sheets of orange and two sheets of burlap but only ended up using one of each with some circles leftover. Depending on how big your area is will determine how much scrapbook paper you'll need.
**This may be obvious to some, but just in case: If you have patterned scrapbook paper make sure you trace your circles on the opposite side of the pattern so you don't have any pen marks showing. **


After tracing, you're ready to start cutting your circles!


Meet my helper, Ms. Kay.


Unfortunately she doesn't have thumbs so she couldn't help much. But she's cute.
After I was done cutting the circles I cute some twine I already had on hand and secured each end of twine to the bookshelves using some Frog Tape. I used painters tape because it's gentler so when I remove the garland I won't be ripping off part of my bookshelf too.


Once your twine has been strung, you're ready to start hanging your circles! All you gotta do is use the clothespins to secure the circles to the twine.
The best part about this project is I only had to spend about $2 for the scrapbook paper since I already had everything else!

    Adorable, but you would never have been able to put this together without your capable "supervisor"...Miss Kay! (that is what we call it when our black lab sticks her nose in every project...she has to "sniff out" everything!)

      Thank you! And yes I wouldn't have been able to do it without Ms. Kay supervising!
