I saw this a while ago on Rosy Note
which is a Japanese page where others may display their
house designs and decoration.
I saw this garland lining the aisle
of a chapel called "Chapel of Blessing" and was
completely awestruck. I had to learn how to do this so here
goes. You can, of course extend, this for as many tiles
as you want, but for the sake of this tutorial I'm only
going to do one segment. This is a north/south design, meaning
it needs to be placed parallel to an east/west wall.
Please pay attention on the items
needed, as there are multiple types of some items.

Items Needed:
- 2 small vases in the granite color
of your choosing
- 2 small statue of matching granite
color
- 2 Chaos shield in matching ingot
color
- 2 Plain Snowdrops
- 1 Head of Cabbage (Type Specific)
- 1 Ball of yarn (Type Specific)
- 2 NPC bought Clock Parts
- 2 Player Tinkered Clock Parts
- 1 Nightshade
- 2 Eggs

This is the type of cabbage head
you want. Please note how it sits at the upper right hand
corner of the tile.
These can usually be found near Cove
in a patch of vegetables. Just double click the "grasses"
and the head of cabbage should appear.
(Note from Lady Muse on Great Lakes:
Remember location of fields can vary from field to field.
On Great Lakes she gets her cabbage from the fields near Brit
whereas myself, Siobhan, gathers cabbage on Legends in the
Skara fields.Just remember, no
matter where you gather your cabbage, the cabbage that falls
on the NORTH side of the grassy plant is the correct cabbage
for this tutorial. And in many cases, both north and south
facing cabbages spawn in the same field, so try all the plants
before giving up on the field.)

On the type of yarn you need.
You need the kind with the loose end
facing down. There are three types as I show you here. |
|
For the clock parts.
There are two types in game and each
faces a different direction.
One you can buy from NPC tinkers, the
second you can buy from player tinkers or make yourself if
you have a tinker. |
|
Now let's get started!
This is a three tile design. Please
see diagram to the right for placement. |
|
We're going to start with the flowers
first, since some of the top pieces tend to hide when you
drop them.
In tile one, drop one of the snowdrops
and lock it down. Raise it up 8 with the deco tool. |
|
Next, lock down one of each facing
clock parts.
Raise each one up 11 with the deco
tool. |
|
| Next, lock down one eggs and raise it
up 10 with the deco tool so that it looks like this. |
|
That completes the flowers for the
arrangement. Now to move on to the vase part of it.
Take one of the small vases, in my
garland I chose the regular iron hued stone vase. Lock it
down in tile one under the flowers you just made and raise
it up 5 with the deco tool. |
|
Then drop one of the small stone
statues on tile one and raise it up 3 with the deco tool.
It should look like this. |
|
| Last drop a chaos shield and lock it
down. |
|
That finishes the flower
arrangement. You can use this alone also as it's really quite
lovely alone. But if you want to go the extra for the garland,
let's continue on.
In tile three, you will need to make
another flower arrangement as you did on tile one. |
| Just follow the steps again to build
it. Once finished your design will look like this: |
|
| Now to link the two together is quite
simple really. Lock down your head of cabbage in tile 2 and
raise it up 9 with the deco tool. It will look like this. |
|
| Next, drop down your piece of nightshade
on tile 2 and raise it up 5 times with the deco tool. |
|
| And last, drop your ball of yarn on
tile 2 and raise it up 7 times with your deco tool and voila! |
|
You now have one segment
of garland! You can extend this as much as you like, just
follow the instructions for the flower arrangements spaced
one tile apart and link them together.
Have fun and happy decorating. |
