Three options are available:

  1. Rag garlands – multicoloured or tone-on-tone fabric scraps are cut and tied together to create a striking decoration.
  2. Felt garlands – geometric felt shapes are cut and hand or machine stitched together for a clean, contemporary look.
  3. Chain garlands – patterned fabric or wallpaper strips are combined to create a funky festive garland in the style of traditional paperchains.
