DETAILS for TEXTILE GARLANDS - READY MADE & KITS

CONTENTS of TEXTILE GARLANDS

The garlands have a starting base of a length of tape, decorative trim or braid (approximately 1.5m)  with loops for hanging at each end, onto which are sewn (by hand stitching or tying) varying lengths of ribbons, pretty trimmings, streamers, tassels, fancy yarns, pom-pom trim, braids, tapes, lace, fabric strips, organza ribbons, satin ribbons, lurex and glittery threads, strings of beads, hanging charms, buttons, textile and yarn flowers, baubles, stars and lightweight sentimental mementoes.

A Torn, Tattered, Frayed, Rag Garland version is also available with ripped, recycled rag strips, torn and frayed lengths of fabrics, ruffled gathered ribbons, embellished with glitter, anything in the right colour can be added to the base support. Not for the 'neat and tidy', this one is wild, dishevelled and unruly!

COLOURS of TEXTILE GARLANDS

I have tried to represent the colours of the garlands as accurately as possible by photographing in natural light. The colours shown on your screen cannot be guaranteed, computer screens and monitors vary and may display colours slightly differently.

'MAKE IT YOURSELF' KIT CONTENTS & PACKAGING

The Folly Flora Kits are simply packaged in a cellophane wrap, no fancy printed bags or boxes, to keep costs economical and save using valuable resources for unnecessary packaging.

N.B. CAUTION The Kits and instructions are intended for Adult Crafters only. Please keep the kit contents away from babies and small children. The kits MAY contain many small parts eg beads, buttons which may present a choking hazard and tapes/ribbons an entanglement hazard.

Kits contain all the materials to make the items as shown in the images and full written instructions with line drawings and diagrams. Also required but not included are scissors, needle and cotton thread, pins.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS (AVOID WASHING in WATER!)

PLEASE NOTE - the textile, ribbon, fabric strips garlands (particularly the 'wild, torn, tattered' versions) with multiple embellishments cannot be washed safely in water without causing damage and severe tangling. Avoid getting the garland wet by washing in water. Spot clean dirty areas with damp cloth.

To clean and care for the garland, remove from its supports and simply take outside, shake gently to dislodge dust at intervals, or carefully brush over with a feather duster..

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE NOTE - The garlands are for decorative display purposes only, they are not toys and should be hung well out of reach of babies and young children.

Decide where the garland is to be displayed and provide secure hanging supports. DO NOT use ceiling light fittings or wall light fitments as securing or hanging points. They are best suited to hanging along a wall, alcove, bed headboard, shelf. Account for some of the textile strips to be quite long and dangling.

Please tether the looped ends to the secure supports and keep all elements of the garland well out of reach of tiny hands, and, if present in the household, playful animals such as kittens, cats and puppies.

KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE - Please take care when choosing a site for hanging the lengths of garlands  Ensure the end ties are kept short, garland components are hanging well away from open fires, wood/multifuel stoves, candle flames, naked flames and heat sources.
