Felt Star Garland

I realize it's almost too early to bust out everything patriotic, but I thought I would get a head-start on things.  Besides, this could work for Memorial Day, right?!  

Alright, I admit it:  I am addicted to making banners, garlands--anything hanging from my mantel!  It's been about a month since my spring banner went up, and I am already itching for something new.  I probably need medication for something like this :)  Thank goodness my hubby has patience with me!!  
But aren't these felt stars just fun and happy?!  Well, if I can whip one out in an hour, so can you!!  Here's what I did:

I am really loving my little star garland.  I contemplated adding a couple more stars, but I like that it is simple and sweet!  Here are a few more shots:




Have a wonderful weekend!!

    Its never too early for the red, white, and blue! I always get mine out around Memorial Day. I'm loving this banner! Just think, around the 4th of July you could add some sparkler type decorations to the end or something. Fun!!

    Also, I'm going to look up that Technorati thing sometime today. It seems odd it would not let you add as many tags as you want!

    Okay, you can ignore my Technorati comment. I got my Alisons mixed up! That was Allison at HOH asking me about that. :)

    That is so cute and kind of funny because I have been having 4th of Julyish garland ideas floating around in my head too and just haven't had time to stop and sew them. Never too early
