Today I have a project made using the Cricut Essentials cartridge. I was asked by Provo Craft to make a garland using this cartridge and that is not something I have ever made. It was a little bit of a challenge to come up with a concept. However, this cartridge had several options. I just kept coming back to the squiggly circle.
To assemble a similar garland, cut out shapes at 2". I cut out 100 so there would be 50 total circles as I made the garland double sided. I adhered the two circles together on top of the aqua ribbon. Then I hot glued small buttons in the center of each squiggly circle. This is not a hard project at all. Just somewhat tedious.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I have a great project for you tomorrow, so make sure you drop back in!

This is a cute idea! I think one in christmas colors would be great to decorate my mantle along with a string of miniature lights...nice! Thanks for the inspiration!
Will you ever go back to NOT having CTMH pics & info at the bottom of EVERY SINGLE email update? I used to really enjoy getting emails with your cards and projects, but ever since the Art Philosophy cart started being advertised and you started adding that to your posts, I feel like it's just a big ad for CTMH that I keep getting. It is extremely annoying, sorry, and I'm about to unsubscribe.
