✨ SAVE THIS ONE — we’re showing you how we made the viral ball garlands you’ve been seeing all over our Lemon Drop Christmas sets this year! They look custom, expensive and complicated…but they’re actually SO easy to make. And bonus: using ornaments instead of foam balls makes them much more affordable. 🙌🏻 WHAT YOU’LL NEED: 🥤 Drink of choice — obviously ✨ Poly/spandex velvet blend fabric — ours is from Hobby Lobby 🎣 Fishing line 🎄 Ornaments in whatever sizes you love — we mixed large + small ✂️ Scissors 🔥 Hot glue gun — optional, but recommended! HOW TO MAKE IT: Start by cutting one long strip of fabric. Think about the length of the space you’re decorating AND whether you want your garland to swag or hang down on the ends. For example, for an 8-foot mantle, we’d cut about a 10-foot strip so we have extra fabric to play with on each side. For larger ornaments, cut your fabric approximately 12 inches wide. For smaller ornaments, around 8 inches wide works great. Place your first ornament inside the fabric and pull the fabric TIGHT around it. Tie fishing line in a knot at the base of the ornament like we show in the video. Then tie again above it so the ornament is secured on both sides. Add your next ornament, pull the fabric tight again, tie it off and repeat, repeat, repeat until your entire strip turns into the cutest oversized ball garland. ✨ A few Lemon Drop tips: Use a mixture of ornament sizes to give it that full, high-end look. Hot glue the fabric seams closed around each ball if you’re worried about the ornaments slipping out. And BUY ORNAMENTS instead of foam balls! They’re typically cheaper, lightweight and work perfectly for this. We’ve used these all over our Christmas sets this year and LOVE how much dimension they add. And once you know how to make them, you’ll start looking around wondering what else needs a ball garland. 😂 ✨ SAVE this tutorial for your next decorating day — and if you make one, PLEASE tag @LemonDropStudios so we can see yours! We want to see what you create! 🎄🤍
