Christmas Tree Garland in Wool Felt: A Buyer's Guide
A Christmas tree garland in wool felt brings soft color to the tree without the glitter and plastic of tinsel. Our felt garland is strung by hand from round wool felt balls, so it drapes easily and lasts for many seasons. In this guide you will learn what you get in each strand, how many your tree needs, and how to match it with other Christmas tree decorations. Every garland we sell is handmade in Nepal.
Why Choose a Wool Christmas Tree Garland?
Wool does not shed, crack, or tarnish. Therefore, a felt garland looks the same in its fifth Christmas as in its first. It is also light, so it sits on the branches without weighing them down.
In addition, felt is soft and will not shatter. That makes it a calm choice for homes with young children or curious cats. Because it is reusable, it also means less to throw away each January.
Finally, a garland is quick to put up. One strand wound around the tree changes the whole look in minutes. As a result, it is a good choice when you want a finished tree without hours of decorating.
What You Get in Each Strand
We offer two nine-foot garlands. The Handcrafted Felted Wool Christmas Garland comes in a festive multicolor mix. The Handmade Rainbow Wool Felt Ball Garland runs through the full rainbow, which suits a bright, playful tree.
Both are made from 100% New Zealand wool. Each strand holds 128 felt balls about 2.5cm, or 1 inch, across. They are strung side by side by hand, so the garland looks full and rope-like rather than sparse.
Because each garland is handmade, the color order and ball size vary slightly from strand to strand. As a result, no two are exactly the same.
How Many Garlands Does Your Tree Need?
For a full spiral, plan on a total length of four to five times the height of the tree. For example, a six-foot tree takes about three of our nine-foot garlands. A three-foot tabletop tree usually needs just one.
If you prefer a lighter look with fewer turns, two strands are often enough for a six-foot tree. However, if you are unsure, buy one extra. Any spare garland looks just as good on a mantel or stair rail.
Styling Your Christmas Tree Garland
Put the lights on first, then the garland, then the ornaments. Start at the top and wind the strand down in an even spiral, or let it dip between branches in loose swags for a more relaxed look.
To finish the tree, repeat the garland colors in your ornaments. Our wool felt balls in 1cm, 2cm, and 3cm sizes make simple matching baubles. Also, for the front door or a wall nearby, the Handmade Multicolor Wool Felt Ball Christmas Wreath uses the same bright felt balls, so the whole room feels connected.
A Christmas Tree Garland You Can Use All Year
A felt garland does not have to go back in the box on January 6th. The rainbow strand in particular looks lovely in a nursery, playroom, or classroom.
For example, drape it over a bookshelf, hang it above a bed, or use it as a backdrop for a birthday party photo. Because it is so light, a few small hooks or a little washi tape are all you need to hang it.
When you do store it, wind it loosely around a piece of card and keep it in a closed box with cedar or lavender to keep moths away.
