Come On, Get Scrappy
As someone who takes decor very seriously, I'm always excited when I encounter a beautiful, practical, and simple design. For me, there's no better decoration than the humble garland that can meet all three of these criteria. Regardless of the season or reason, I use garlands as my go-to secret weapon to instantly transform a space. Therefore, this Felt Scraps Garland is the perfect accent piece to bring spring into your home. Some of the best projects start with what you already have. This Felt Scraps Garland turns leftover bits and pieces into something colorful, cheerful, and completely one-of-a-kind. It’s a quick, beginner-friendly craft that invites you to dig into your scrap pile and see it in a whole new way.

There’s no need for precision here — in fact, the charm comes from the mix of shapes and sizes. You’ll cut your felt into simple rectangles (or use up pre-cut scraps), then thread each piece onto embroidery floss until your garland reaches the length you like. This is a super quick make, perfect for crafting with kids or for those moments when you just want to make something without overthinking it.
What makes this Felt Scraps Garland oh-so satisfying is the way it repurposes what might otherwise go unused. If you’ve been saving little leftover pieces from past projects, this is your moment. Pull out those soft blues, warm yellows, muted greens, and blush tones — or whatever colors you have on hand — and watch them come together into something fun and celebratory.
Because you’re working with scraps, no two garlands will ever look the same. You can keep your palette soft and coordinated, or lean into a more playful, mixed look. Either way, the finished piece feels relaxed, textured, and full of movement. This Felt Scraps Garland is perfect for draping across a mantle or adding a pop of color to a wall.
This is one of those projects where “perfect” doesn’t really apply. Crooked cuts and uneven edges only add to the finished look. So go ahead — craft a little, laugh a little, and enjoy the process as much as the result.

Back to the TopIs there a pattern for that cute bear in the photos, or is it just a bear that you own?
