Adding Pops of Colour!

When we moved into our apartment, we already had the furniture and a few pieces we picked up on our travels but due to said travels we couldn't afford to splash out right away on the little bits and pieces to finish off each room. The furniture we already had was very neutral which was good as it allowed us to create different colour schemes in each room, however, until we had found the missing pieces, it left the apartment feeling, not quite us. 
Slowly but surely we are filling in the blanks; we recently bought an amazing navajo style rug and decided to have it in the living room, a room which was already primarily black and red so bringing in some extra colour really brightened the room up. 
I decided to create a small garland using some of the colours from the rug to show you guys how easy it is to add pops of colour for little to no cost! 

All I needed for this DIY was a selection of felt, some embroidery thread, a needle and a pair of scissors! 

In keeping with the navajo style, I cut my felt into different sized triangles and placed them in the order I thought worked best.
A garland is such a simple and easy way to get some colour into a room or to customise a piece of furniture, you could use any shape, any fabric and could also use stuffing to give it a 3 dimensional look! 

I attached the shapes by creating small loops between each shape, you could thread them all on the same piece of thread or string but I prefer a more discreet binding. 

And once you're done, all you have to do is find a cute place to hang it! 

Its so simple to do and not only is it cheaper than a store bought decoration, its more special as you've made it yourself! 
This would be such a cute little decoration for a babies room or make a long one to hang down the side of a door!

What simple DIYs do you like to do to spruce up a tired room?
