Pendant Garland Tutorial

Planning a party, decorating a room or need a prop for some cute pictures, why not make your own pendant garland.

Even if the thought of sewing something seems intimidating or out of reach for you, this is the perfect sewing project to test the waters with.  It's practically no fail.

Grab the following supplies:
Pinking Shears or Rotary Cutter {if you prefer a straight edge on your pendants use scissors}
Fabric {the amount will depend on how big you make your pendants}
Double Biased Tape
Sewing machine {don't be intimidated}

Using your pinking shears/rotary cutter or scissors, cut out your flags.  I used 7 white and red polka dot flags and 7 red and white polka dot flags {14 in total}

Open the biased tape and tuck the top of your flag in the middle of your biased tape.

Pin your flags into place.  Using a zig zag stitch, sew your flags down.

And, just like that, you are done.  Hang it up for decorations.

Or set it up for an interesting photo prop.

The possibilities are endless.  Find fabric that you like, dust off your sewing machine and give it a try.

*You could also do a no sew version.  Use Heat and Bond iron on adhesive for hems.  Put the hem adhesive inside the double biased tape, along with the flags, and iron it down.
