make a christmas garland

i'm revisiting the junk mail garland for this holiday season. this time i used newspaper with a couple of coats of white paint. i used a small circle punch after cutting scallops into the painted paper and used a ziz-zag on the machine to stitch all the happy to a long length of vintage trim. then, because i sometimes forget when to stop, i added a few more stitches to each flag.

i love the way it turned out and quite like painted newspaper. such a happy medium. stay tuned for a fun snowflake tutorial.
