Fair warning.

Want to make a super lush, thick, wonderful Christmas garland for your mantel, above the kitchen cabinets or to place on your buffet? Well, you need to make sure that you have enough greenery.

Over the next two weeks check and see how much garland you have. If all you have is the super scrawny anorexic garland that you can see through and you are hoping to have a full, wonderful garland this year– you either need to have lots of the skinny stuff or supplement your collection.

Try hanging out at your local thrift shop. This is the time of year when people pull out the decorations and purge. If you are in need of some greenery, second hand is the way to go! Most of what I have is from yard sales. We’ll be making that stunning jungle like garland from my mantle in just a few weeks! Get ready!
