TikTok Creator Shares Sustainable DIY Fabric Garland Project, Advocates for Conscious Consumption
In a world increasingly focused on sustainable living and mindful consumption, a recent viral video from TikTok creator 'noel cruz 🍎' (artsynoel) is inspiring viewers to embrace the 'joy of creating over consuming.' The video, uploaded on September 10, 2025, showcases a step-by-step guide to crafting a charming fabric garland from leftover scraps. The creator demonstrates how to cut fabric into 10-inch long and 3.5-inch wide strips, hot glue the edges for a neat finish, and then link them together to form a decorative chain. She also incorporates lace and ribbon, noting, 'I love how the lace added dimension to my garland.' The project, which the creator says reminds her of items typically found at high-end retailers like Anthropologie, serves as a poignant reminder of the value of handmade goods. 'I think it’s really easy to over consume, especially with the fall season approaching,' she states in the video, 'but it’s important to remember the joy of creating over consuming.' This sentiment resonates with a growing audience seeking to personalize their spaces while reducing waste. The video has garnered significant attention, accumulating 60,000 views and 11,000 likes, highlighting the widespread interest in accessible and sustainable home decor solutions.
