How to Make the Perfect Holiday Garland

At Schoolhouse, one of our favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit is by making a festive garland to string up around our home. There's nothing quite like the fresh scent of pine, cedar, and freshly dried citrus to welcome a new season of merriment and joy. In this blog, we asked our resident craft expert, Jorie, for her tips and tricks on how to create the perfect string of holiday garland.
