I love garlands and banners and the simple statement that they can bring to a party room! While planning Friendsgiving I thought about what kinds of banners we could create to set the scene. These ideas came to mind, but in the end I wanted something a little more bold and simple. Here’s how we created this simple Thanksgiving garland.
This garland is super simple to create! We used thick chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby. We covered the front with crafting glue and gold glitter. We used a staple gun to attach thin rope to the back/top of each letter in every corner. We hung it in front of the window in my dining room. I love this project, because it’s so easy to take down and save for next year when the season ends!
This garland is exactly the same sign we made for Emma’s Bachelorette but we spray painted those letter white instead of using glitter. xo. Elsie

I had no idea what chipboard was until literally yesterday when I saw some in Michaels. I wasn’t sure what it could be used for, but now I now!! Cute garland!

Hi! I love this! What size letters are those from Hobby Lobby? 8 inches? Thanks!
So cute! How tall are the letters? 4″ or larger? Thanks.
Love this!!!
I love the banner. And I love the table too! Simple but makes a statement.
Oooh it looks so good! 🙂

This is very simple and classic. I like the way you split it up so it can be read as “Thanksgiving” like the holiday, or “thanks giving” as in the art of giving thanks. 🙂
so cute!

Sad but true! I’ve taken my business elsewhere. Here’s the scoop: http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/07/19/2329951/hobby-lobby-birth-control/
Maybe stating the obvious, but:
AH HA! My five year old daughter can paint the last remaining uncarved Halloween pumpkins on our porch! Perfect kid-friendly project, perfect Thanksgiving centerpiece.
Thanks for the epiphany 🙂
so beautiful and interesting ideas. I am going to try this 🙂 may be with silver color
It adds a great touch!
It’s a little left of center. Just a bit.
The yellow glitter garland is gorgeous! And it matches your chairs perfectly. We have similar yellow bar stool from Target and the pop of color makes me happy. 🙂
its very good to say thank u………..
I have seriously got to make this! So absolutely perfect.

Hi Lea,
For this project we just used tacky glue and it isn’t sealed. If you did the the triple thick it would help the glitter to stay put but I would wrap them in wax paper for storage (not tissue!)
