I made these map garlands as a special request for a customer and they have proved rather popular. The map colours glow in the light – all those blues and green smoosh together into something very pretty.
This is the style I call ‘paper onions’. I don’t know what else to call them!
These are paper hearts, strung on twine. There are eight on a string. I’ve toyed with making longer ones of maybe even 16 – I think they’d look quite spectacular for a going away party or something like that.
I’d like to experiment with something other than twine though. I like the rustic effect and I think it goes well with the paper but I’d like to try it with some sort of silky cord maybe, or ribbon. I’ve just bought a few things to try out, so watch this space for yet more adventures in garlanding.
