Felted Valentine’s Day Garlands

My newest fascination is with wool felt balls. Why? Because they are adorable, inexpensive, and make my home festive. I bought 200 in multiple colors just before Christmas to string for garland for the tree. I loved the garland SO much that I decided to purchase more in Valentine’s day hues.

I ordered the felt balls online from TaDaaStudios and I have to say, the packaging is adorable.

I strung up a few shades of pink with white and hung them in the kitchen…

…and I can’t help myself, so I’ll share with you AGAIN, my fabulous felt Valentine’s Day calaveras (skulls) from last year–though I couldn’t do them justice being housed in Amman.

…and since I’m on a roll, I’ll just add one last Valentine’s day touch in the kitchen…another embroidered tea towel.

Happy pre-Valentine’s day and stay tuned for my next Easter garland.

    The felted “valentine balls” are very cute and festive. I’m sure Raj has to be sooo impressed. Everything looks adorable. Mom

    Love them! I made something similar at Christmas too, but out of wool pompoms. I like the look of the felt balls though, I agree they are adorable, I love the brights colours!

      Someday I plan to make the wool felt balls from wool scraps. There are so baby uses for pompoms and felt balls.

    Too stinking cute! I’d like to place an order. I don’t think your cute garland that I used for Halloween would exactly work with my Valentine theme but I’d like to place an order for some garlands and tea towels. Also, beautiful apothocary jars. They didn’t go unnoticed.

    The Valentine fairy has visited. I am so glad someone is doing things like this in her home. We just try and do something festive with the animal hair!

    I think I’d have to say that you’re slightly crazy, but in a good way. Where are you based now? I can’t tell from the pom-poms…

    Love your garland. What size and colors of felt balls did you order? Would love to try this.
