A couple of months ago, I got a message from my amazing photographer friend, Jenny, asking if I could possibly make a "fabric garland" for her to use as a backdrop. I took one look at the picture she had sent me of what she wanted and jumped on the chance to make it! It was seriously one of the easiest projects I have taken on!! We spent a good two or more hours at the wonderful Hobby Lobby picking out our fabrics. I could not wait to get started!
We picked a morning for her & her son Christopher to come over so we could work on the backdrops (yes. i said BACKDROPS! we couldn't settle on fabric for just one...so we got enough supplies to make two large ones & two smaller ones!) Thankfully, Grayson napped the entire time Jenny & Christopher were here. We started at around 10:30 & finished up by 2pm.....we did take a break long enough to feed our starving children & to break up a few arguments! It didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would!
Last weekend, Jenny took some pictures of newborn twins....and used one of the smaller "basket garlands" I made. I am SO beyond anxious to see how they turn out!!! But, knowing Jenny, they will be anything short of amazing!
this one is my favorite.
we used two different cotton fabric patterns, brown tulle, & sage green burlap.
the colors in this one are so soft & feminine. it can be used for babies, engagements, or even wedding/bridal pictures. i just LOVE it! and the "basket garland" is just as amazing!

the second one we did, we used this AMAZING green fabric....and i honestly fell in love with it as soon as i saw it!!! i pretty much made jenny buy it!!!
with this one, we used our leftover tulle to break up some of the green fabric. we also used an ivory burlap to add some texture. this one turned out really good also!! it's feminine, but still somewhat masculine. i must say, i'm very proud of us for our creations!
