    Garlands are a fun decorating idea for any holiday. You can use them to dress up any room, string them across your mantle, spruce up a bookcase, or welcome guests. I love paper garlands because they are easy to store and don’t have to cost a lot of money.

    I love this Give Thanks Glitter Garland from the  Pottery Barn Kids fall catalog, but was disappointed when I realized that it was already sold out. Luckily it’s a very easy Thanksgiving craft:  just print the free stencils, trace them onto glitter cardstock, cut and tape.

    In just a few minutes you can add a little bit of sparkle to your Thanksgiving decor!

    I love holiday banners from Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids (check out my  Merry Christmas Garland, Easter Bunny Banner tutorial or one of my Halloween banner tutorials). Unfortunately, I do not love paying $22 for a decoration make of card stock and glitter!

      Thank you for the nice newsletter with a reminder to be “thankful”. The crafts are so much fun and I shared some with my granddaughter during my visit to Germany in October. Best wishes to you and yours.!

      Do you mind sharing the Font and Text Size you used on your Silhouette to create these letters? I am wanting to do the same thing but use a different phrase for the season.

      Thank You

        Jessica, I used the free font Cairo . You can download it at DaFont. Mine is 450 size type with some distortion to make is wider (I used Photoshop). Using 450-460 size font will get you very close to the same look. I’d love to see a picture of your finished banner. Hope this helps! What phrase are you making?

          Thanks so much Bren for the information, I am going to start working on it now 🙂 I am making the saying “Baby Its Cold Outside”. I am going to cut it with gold poster board and attach with red ribbon and wrap it around my Christmas tree this year 🙂 This is my very first project on the Silhouette machine, so wish me luck, and I will share when it’s done!

            This sounds so cute! Be careful with a super, brand new sticky mat and thick glitter paper. My paper separated and stuck to the mat. It worked better with a slightly used (less sticky) mat and a double cut.
