It is that crazy sweet time of year again when girls all over the country are out selling Girl Scout cookies. They have set goals and are working on learning how to market and run a business. They are raising money to do amazing things like travel, learn and explore. This no-sew felt Girl Scout COOKIES garland is an easy way to decorate a cookie booth, you know the booths that the girls have set up in front of grocery stores. It is quick and requires NO SEWING so can be done easily by a beginning crafter or kids.
