Paper garland

This is my mobile version, but I didn't have a finished garland/ decoration picture to add. Variation on the mobile- I layered a few pieces of paper then fanned out after hanging.

SUPPLIES:
Card stock paper
Thread
Sewing Machine * I always use a needle that's had plenty of use on that I won't feel bad not ever sewing on fabric with it again. Be sure to clean your machine after. I don't know how bad it might ware on the machine, but it does seem a little dusty afterwards, so just take care of it.

DIRECTIONS:
Cut squares- any size and with variances. (or cut any other shape). Plan out a pattern for the different colors and sizes. Feed through sewing machine one after another across the diagonals with each piece touching at the corners.
Now try really hard to imagine this hanging until I can get a picture of it. *Sorry!* But I promise you'll like the look. I plan to make more for the holidays.
