LEATHER CHAIN GARLAND
BY Stephanie Lee
There’s nothing I like better than making
my own holiday decorations. Not only does
Christmas crafting get me into the festive
spirit, it also allows me to experiment with
different materials, patterns and colours that
I otherwise wouldn’t find in stores!
Which is exactly how this chain garland
came about. I’ve always wanted to make a
garland like this using something other than
paper, and the earthy colour and texture
of leather seemed like the perfect fit. Best
of all, it’s pretty much as easy as putting
together the paper version. Win!
