- Before getting started make sure you have gathered all of the necessary supplies
- Tim started this Garland by adding the 10" Mardi Gras Mesh to the full length of the Garland. He used the branches from the garland to tie the Mesh on. He created loops between each section as he went down the garland.
- Tim then began to add the large Glittered Fern Leaves to the entire length of the garland. He cut them into individual sections and then layered them down the garland. He added them to the garland using floral wire and he placed them at each loop down the garland.
- Once all of the Fern Leaves had been added, Tim began adding the glittered Ornament Balls. He alternated colors and skipped every other Mesh Loop when placing the ornaments on the Garland. He used Hot Glue to secure them.
- Then Tim created 6 small three loop bows to put on the Garland. He tied these with floral wire and then spread them throughout the Garland.
- Lastly Tim split the Peacock Sprays into multiple sections and added those to the Garland. He used Hot Glue to secure them and place them throughout.
- After you have added all of the components you will have stunning Garland to use throughout the Mardi Gras season.
