Spring Garlands We're Lusting After!

Thursday 9 April 2015

Happy Thursday! This week we decided to post our favourite round up of garlands and bunting - the sunny weather has definitely made us in the mood to inject some colour at the Aubergine Fox Den!

We heart this Fiesta Garland by TouchOMagic on Etsy! Buy it here

You may have seen earlier our newest tassel garland made for us by Tassels and Tails on Etsy, something I've been dreaming of making for some time now but with so much work on at the minute, just never seemed to have the time. We were absolutely thrilled with it, she made it up to the exact specifications we had and it arrived super speedily! (If you haven't seen it yet, head to our Facebook page or Twitter for a little preview).

They're really easy to make and there are a lot of tutorials online (we particularly recommend this tutorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpN2fgEH1Xg). They're also bright, fun and if you're strapped for cash, affordable to do at home yourself.

If my den were bigger (by bigger, I mean anything larger than a small one bedroom flat!), I'm pretty sure I would have a hard time stopping myself from stocking up on a huge selection of garlands. I have a respectable six or seven different ones (not out at the same time!), and constantly drool over others I want to add to the collection!

So, to relieve some of my garland fever and give myself an excuse to peruse the web, I'm going to share some of my favourites with you.

1. This scalloped gold garland from Steph Loves Ben (from £8.33). 


Scallop edges have been making a huge revival over the past few years and we still can't get enough. Combine that with glitter and our all time favourite metallic, gold, and you have a winner.

2. This rainbow felted heart garland from Azalea Cottage Crafts


My all time favourite things - garlands, felt and rainbows, what's more to love?!

3. Felt Ivory Flower Garland from Such a Squirrel



This gorgeous garland is perfectly designed for weddings, but this wouldn't stop me from adorning my home with it during the spring/summer months! It would be especially ideal for adding a few decorations outside during the warmer season for a little gathering or BBQ. Simple yet sophisticated, this garland works well in both formal and more casual settings.


4. Word Banners: Like a Boss Banner from All Her Glory




Technically a banner not a garland, but these word banners are so on trend right now and for a very good reason. This banner would be the perfect motivation for a studio or office space, especially for all those #girlbosses out there!


I'm going to step away from the computer now to grab a snack and get a little fresh air, so I'll see you all again soon!
