Crochet Gingerbread Garland
"If you would like to decorate your house in a gingerbread theme, my crochet gingerbread garland will make a beautiful addition to your decor! Crocheted garland is a wonderful easy project and perfect to add a handmade touch to you holiday home decoration. Gingerbread Hearts, or Lebkuchenherzen, are popular in German celebrations, especially during Christmas time. They are typically decorated with intricate icing designs or have some saying in the center. To imitate the icing, I embroidered my hearts and embellished them with beads and small snowflake buttons.
