Tutorial: Falloween Garland




The question, "Does this craft really NEED a gigantic, long-winded, wordy tutorial?" crossed my mind many times as I was making my Falloween craft. Only the most gifted, talented, and crafty types frequent this cyber place, am I right? Right. Okay... But just in case one little novice crafter has slipped through the cracks, I have provided the following wordless tutorial for his/her benefit. All you other seasoned professionals just skip to the good part - the end - where you will find an array of photos of the finished product. I'll meet you down there.

Note:

To the little-novice-crafter-who-has-slipped-through-the-cracks:

Welcome! This wordless tutorial is JUST for you. Please note that I used both frozen concentrated fruit juice containers and toilet paper rolls to make the garland. Both are treated in the same way, except that the fruit juice containers are painted orange on the outside and yellow on the inside, and the toilet paper rolls are painted black on the outside and left as-is on the inside. If for some reason, I have failed in my mission to make a transparent, accessible and easy-to-understand tutorial, please do not hesitate to "let me have it" in the comments. I apologize in advance if this is the case and promise to apologize again afterwards. It would be un-Canadian of me to do otherwise. I am sorry.

  13. Seriously, I don't know what I love more the title or the fact that you used frozen juice cans (Which I do not buy purely for the non-recyclable-reusable qualities) so beautifully. I bet any kiddo would love to make these, or at least see them hanging up! Would be fabulous really for any holiday with a quick colour pallette change too!

    The cow may have to wait. Or I'm going to double up on my juice consumption right quick. I'll keep you posted :)
    Hmmm....wonder if there is a way I could make this waterproof? I would love this as an oversize outdoor garland! Hmmm......
