To make the garland:
Cut a strand of yarn to the length that you need it to be. I used white and cut mine several feet long so I could hang it on my mantle 🙂
I also made hearts (two red and two pink) using my heart pattern (here) and four red and pink pompoms. I made three sets of pink xo’s and three sets of red xo’s.
I found it very helpful to lay my garland out on the floor in the order that I wanted it to be when I hung it up.
Thread one end of your yarn that you’re using to hang the garland through your yarn needle. Using your yarn needle, guide the yarn through the top of each X, O, and heart, and through the center of each pompom.
Your garland (if you make yours like mine) should look like this when you’re done:
It’s pretty simple, and adds festive flair to your space! <3
