It is very easy to make such a beautiful soft garland. The amount of material depends on the desired length of the decoration.

What do you need

• white and red strips of felt 2.5 cm wide;
• 2 needles;
• threads.

How to do

Lay the white strip of felt over the red one and pin them on both sides with needles. Then make longitudinal cuts in the middle of the strips at the same distance from each other.

If you want to make a very long garland, cut the felt gradually: make no more than five cuts at once, move on to weaving, and then repeat the procedure. Thanks to this scheme, the strips will not move out, and it will be much easier for you.

To braid a two-tone braid, thread the end of the strip through the first hole and pull tight so that the strips do not fall apart. Then thread the garland through all the other holes in the same way.

Trim and sew the strips to each other at the ends of the finished garland so that they do not stick out. By the way, you can combine any colors of your choice. For example, these:

These miniature stars look like glass, even though they are made from plain cellophane! This material is not as malleable as paper, but such an unusual garland is worth the work done.

What do you need

• cellophane;
• lined sheet of paper;
• scissors;
• thin needle;
• thin threads.

How to do

Cut the cellophane into strips. It is more convenient to do this by placing a lined sheet of paper under the cellophane. Please note that the length of the strips should be at least 30 times their width. In other words, if the width is 1 cm, then the length must be at least 30 cm.

Then make stars out of the stripes as shown in this video:

Carefully pierce the stars with a needle through which a long thread is threaded. The stars should be at a small distance from each other.

By the way, garlands of paper stars also look very nice. Therefore, choose the material to your taste.

This option is suitable for those who want to diversify the usual old garland.

What do you need

• white paper cups;
• a sheet of plain paper;
• pencil;
• scissors;

Lay the template on the back of the scrapbook paper and cut out as many wrappers as you have cups. By the way, you can choose any color of paper. Just try to match it in color with an electric garland.

Then wrap the cups in paper and glue the edges with glue or double-sided tape.

Very simple and beautiful!

This beautiful garland looks very impressive, and it is very simple to make it. If you do not have twine, you can use thick threads or yarn.

What do you need

• Balloons;
• petrolatum;
• ½ l of PVA glue;
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch;
• 2 tablespoons of warm water;
• twine;
• needle;
• electric garland.

How to do

Blow up balloons of the same size. Note: a garland of small balls will look prettier. Lubricate them with Vaseline. This is necessary so that the twine does not stick to the balls tightly.

Mix glue, starch and water. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water. Just do not overdo it so that it is not very liquid.

Wet the twine in the resulting adhesive solution. Then wrap the rope around the balloons. The easiest way to do this is to hang the balls on a rail. Just do not forget in this case to put an oilcloth under them, where excess glue will drain. The density of the balls of the future garland depends on how much twine you wind.

Leave the balls to dry overnight. Then pierce each balloon with a needle to make it burst. First check whether the twine has become stiff enough and whether the finished ball will hold its shape. Remove the balloon carefully.

Then insert the bulbs of the electric garland into the balls of twine. If the balls turned out to be very dense, then you can make holes in them with scissors or a pen.

For such a garland, you need thick paper, such as cardstock. But thin cardboard is fine too.

What do you need

• thick paper (gray and several other colors to choose from);
• scissors;
• hole puncher;
• glue;
• twine.

How to do

Cut the gray paper into strips of 3 x 10 cm. The parameters of the strips from the rest of the paper are 2.5 x 20 cm. The number of strips depends on the desired length of the garland.

Fold the gray stripes into octagons and make holes for the twine with a hole punch as shown in the photo. Then glue the edges of the octagons.

stubbornlycrafty.com

Now make the light bulbs. To do this, fold the long strip in half, only slightly running your fingers along the fold. Holding the strip by the tips, press it to the palm of your hand. When you release the paper, it will take the shape of a light bulb.

stubbornlycrafty.com

At the ends of the strip, exactly in the middle, make a hole for the twine with a hole punch. Thread the twine first through one hole on the gray octagon, then through the light bulb, and finally through the second hole in the octagon. Repeat these steps with all the other details and align the "bulbs" along the length of the twine.

Paper garlands "Ribbon Rainbow"

Standard garland "Snake"

Even the smallest children, who have barely learned to hold scissors in their hands, will cope with the preparation of "snakes". So, if you have kids, take them with “snakes”, and start more difficult work yourself.

Manufacturing technique: Cut out a large circle from paper and, stepping back a centimeter - another from the edge, start cutting off the tape (see photo) until you reach the center.

The cut strips are glued together into one common garland according to the principle of an ordinary chain, which consists of links. To get something more original, try playing with the shape of the links: make them square or even voluminous, although this will be a little more difficult. You can make it even easier: colored paper is cut into thin strips, and then they need to be sewn in the center with each other, usually a machine is used for this purpose, but you can also do it manually.

Then, using a needle, we string them onto a thread and our decoration is ready! By the way, it will not only transform your home, but also spread a pleasant citrus aroma throughout it.

Now there are a lot of materials that are easy to change, these are different types of fabric, paper, clay, etc. A stretch on a Christmas tree or a window can also be made from cones, sweets, even food. yes, yes, there are craftswomen who create garlands of gingerbread and candied fruits.

In general, there are an incredible number of ideas, so the article turned out to be quite voluminous and long. But this is only to our advantage, so we will consider many options for inspiration!

It is better to take paper of medium density and double-sided. Then the craft will look neater.

So, we will start with flashlights familiar from childhood.

We need two parts. One is 180*120 mm in size, and the second is 180*100 mm. We fold the one that is larger in half and make parallel cuts from the side of the fold without reaching the edge of 1 cm.

We make a tube from a smaller strip, gluing the edges, which have a size of 100 mm.

And now we wrap the resulting accordion around the tuba. We fix the points of contact with glue.

The figures connected together are also a very good idea for crafts, at the end of this section, I will give many templates and stencils for cutting.

Such cute penguins and snowmen can be made according to this pattern.

The links of the garland are connected with threads or wire.

Santa Claus diagram.

Another idea is the links fastened together with glue. So, the simplest option of the rings. Everyone has done this sort of thing!

However, if fantasy and modern materials are applied to this idea, you will get a very stylish decoration.

Often garlands are created from separate elements and connected only by a thread, wire or cord.

Therefore, absolutely any elements of creativity can act in this capacity.

For example, here is a tutorial on how to create cute little stars. A large number of them will make an ornament.

Here is the idea of ​​balls from stripes.

Another familiar idea from childhood flashlights. You need five strips of the same thickness. And they go along the length: 1 strip 5 cm, 2 strips 7 cm each and 2 strips 9 cm each. We fix the edges with glue or sew with threads.

You can use different colors and the simplest shapes: triangle, rhombuses, squares, cones, etc.

Little kids will love making this craft. To do this, take a long strip of colored or corrugated paper. Along its entire length, mark the strips at a distance of 1 cm from each other. And cut them without reaching the edge of 1 cm. It is important to alternate sides. One cut from the right side, the second from the left.

Now for some ideas for inspiration. For example, I liked these cute snowmen.

I was also surprised by the idea of ​​people hanging Christmas trees upside down.

Or here's how interesting they decided to connect the details with the rope. Just tied with ribbons and that's it.

The craftswoman decided to sew these snowflakes on a sewing machine.

by the way, it can be not only stretched as usual for us, but also hang vertically from the ceiling and look like children's mobiles.

Here is a photo tutorial on how to make the simplest garland with only scissors and a circle of paper.

It is also interesting to make a stretch from the fans. You can combine them by colors, sizes and number of rows of elements.

Such a fan can be done like this. We take a sheet, mark on it stripes 1 cm thick across the entire width. Then we begin to fold them with an accordion. On the marked lines, we bend the sheet in different directions alternately.

The resulting accordion is folded in half.

And we connect the two inner edges with double-sided tape.

And now we connect all the details into one whole.

And if you dream up and use new forms.

Look at the paper leaf garland idea. The main thing is to take winter color options: white, silver, blue, blue and red.

A similar decoration made of volumetric balls looks very stylish.

From an ordinary idea, you can turn it into a magical one by simply adding more unusual solutions. For example, use circles of different colors.

Or sew a garland in five minutes from miniature triangles.

Figures hanging from the ceiling immediately create comfort.

Use golden hues in creating decorations, they will decorate any background.

The outlines of houses and tree branches are very memorable in winter. When you walk in the evening, the street sweats, and such a cozy and warm yellow light turns on in the windows.

Or circles can be folded in half and glue the adjacent side.

According to this scheme, the following garland is made.

As you can see, not only circles can be glued this way, but also squares, rhombuses.

It seemed unusual to me that volumetric cones are used in suspensions. You can also put sweets in there.

Look what a cute composition for decorating the wall.

Another idea with a snowman, snowflakes and stars.

Such a "snake" is created from corrugated paper. Along the entire length of the blue roll, cut off a strip 2 cm wide. Glue a red strip perpendicular to it. Here's what happens.

A few more ideas.

The use of postcards and photographs in the decoration has become unusual.

We take different elements: boots, stripes, Christmas trees. All this will fit.

For Christmas trees, you can use different patterns.

For example, use this one.

You can connect parts both vertically and horizontally.

You can decorate not only the apartment, but also the street.

And these snow balls can be made in five minutes.

For more serious premises, such as offices, it is better to take rectangular or triangular flags in pleasant colors.

Cupcake molds make a wonderful Christmas tree.

And how do you like a garland of such small voluminous stars? At the same time immediately and a master class.

There is a wonderful idea to create jewelry from mittens and mittens.

Now, as promised, there are a lot of patterns and stencils for cutting.

Garlands in kindergarten for the competition

Before the New Year, parents can receive a task from kindergarten and school. You need to make a craft for the competition. Often this idea is created in order to have something to decorate the Christmas tree. Well, we don’t mind, we’ll make a beautiful garland.

To do this, consider a few master classes.

So, the first idea, we make light bulbs.

To do this, we translate this scheme.

Using the ruler of the blunt side of the knife or scissors, we bend the sides of the petals.

Where there is an allowance, we apply glue and form the part. Insert the thread into the places where the dots are drawn.

Now we make a light bulb holder from dark cardboard. Fold and glue the strip.

Glue it to the light bulb. We make a lot of such blanks and combine them into one big garland.

By the way, you can insert real lanterns inside.

The second idea for the competition is volumetric balls.

This tutorial shows each step of creating elements.

The idea with deer seemed rather unusual to me.

Elements are cut according to this stencil.

The pieces are connected to each other with stripes of a contrasting color.

This idea is quite complex. It will be difficult for kids to do it. However, this decoration looks just gorgeous.

For beauty, you can use the gradient effect. Sort colored paper by saturation. From dark to light.

We cut many strips of the same width, form an ornament and fasten it with a stapler and staples.

This option is also quite bold. We will use felt and clothespins. Nothing complicated, but very unusual.

From different shades of felt, we cut out elements of the Christmas tree and glue them on a clothespin. We connect them with a strong thick thread.

I think that for the sake of the competition you can do your best!

Master classes from felt with patterns

Felt is very popular with craftswomen. I devoted a separate crafts from this material.

So, there will be both complex and easy crafts. Choose your own difficulty level.

So, the first master class. Volumetric ornaments. You will need a square of thin felt, a ruler, scissors and glue. You need to connect the edges alternately from different sides of the square.

To decorate a children's room, make a garland of mischievous Christmas trees and snowmen.

Templates are shown below. All animals are made according to this scheme: parts of 2 pieces are cut out according to the template. A mouth, eyes and other details are embroidered on the front side.

The edges are sewn together, but one corner remains unsewn. We push the filler into it. And this hole is sealed.

These templates can be used independently.

For garlands, flat figures made of felt are also used. It lends itself easily to stitching on a sewing machine. Therefore, more often these soft parts are connected in this way.

You can try to depict a garland in the form of leaves.

To do this, on a long strip of felt, you need to put off the ornament, which is shown in the lower diagram.

Cut the workpiece and connect all the parts into one long stretch.

Another master class on creating decorations for soft snowmen.

Recall that the garland can hang down from top to bottom.

Tilda dolls are popular in Europe. Especially in the Scandinavian countries. We can use this idea in home decoration.

Here is a master class on making a "sweet" garland. There are sweets and candy here. But you can’t eat them, they are made of fabric.

This is how candy is made.

And so we make a blank for a lollipop.

You can use real lollipop sticks.

Balls made of sisal, wadding or wool can also be wrapped in felt.

If you have only one shade, then it can be pasted over with a cloth or multi-colored paper.

Another decoration idea. And here we see clothespins again.

and here the figures alternate with pompons.

The diagrams for this craft are just below.

You can combine materials. Here's what the felt and cones look like together.

More decorating ideas.

Let's take a closer look at how such Christmas trees are made.
