Something very special to check out at tomorrow's Holiday Handmade Cavalcade is a showcase of over 100 Winter Wonderland handmade 10ft long garlands. Several members of The {NewNew} team have handcrafted each one of these using such a diverse skill set, aesthetic, technique, and materials. It will surely inspire your own decorating at home!

Here are some photos of the Decorations Committee at work back on November 19th...

TIP: Sometimes your materials will tell you what they want to be... If you are stuck in a rut, try laying them all out on the floor and see if it helps to get inspired.

Tie a simple knot using several strands of yarn, spaced about a foot apart for a frothy soft effect.

This classic linked garland is updated by mixing up different materials and colors for each loop. Check out the re-purposed packing foam used here!

The color theme for the day will be a shimmery winter wonderland, but while sticking primarily to whites, the team effectively mixed in shades of silver, icy blue, and cream to add rhythm and texture.

Sometimes serious genius creates a mega mess. It's OK, it probably means you were productive (just blame the dog).

Large snowflakes will dangle from the ceiling, balancing the small scale of the garlands and adding a focal point.

A silvery blue origami inspired garland cut from novelty papers you have probably been saving for years...what could be a better way to use them??

Felt scraps are quickly cut into freehand circles that will be stapled together like an accordian chain. Alternate the oatmeal, white and silver randomly or in a sequence and see what different effects you get!

Be sure to check out The {NewNew} at the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade on Saturday December 5th to see these garlands unveiled, along with dozens more!
