I love garlands and buntings. I love vintage buttons. Put them together and you have a cheery Thanksgiving garland to hang. These are really easy to make. We whipped ours up in about an hour. I wanted to press it, but the little guy wanted to hang it right away. Guess who won.
To make a Thanksgiving garland, you will need enough buttons to spell out your message, a nice heavy wool felt, a matching ribbon and contrasting rickrack. We cut the felt into flag shapes, hot glued the buttons on and hot glued the rickrack to the edges of the flags. Then, we spaced them out on the ribbon and glued it all into place. We left about a foot of extra ribbon on each end so we could tie the garland to something.
