Liz makes a name garland

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I don't have the internet at home, so I can't post anything! Here's a repeat post for now. I'll get back on track soon!
Today I finally finished the name garland for Layla! I wait to get it in the mail for her. It took awhile, but it's finally done! I posted about it the other day, but now I've finally finished! Here's how I did it:

First, I printed Layla's name with my printer, using Corbel font, size 450. I cut them out and used them as a pattern to cut the felt out. I cut out two pieces of felt for each letter, making sure one of them was backwards. I sewed them up using a whip stitch, but not before I stuffed them up with some poly-fil. 
I strung them together using regular thread. I liked how it turned out, and I hope Layla does too. :)
Happy birthday Layla! Happy weekend everybody!
Love, Liz

    Very cute! I need a gift for a friend having a baby soon, I wonder if this would work, but just spelling "baby" in colors to match the nursery. You've got me thinking!

      Oh that would be cute! If you already know the gender, then you could use one gender-specific color for all the letters! So cute!
