DIY paper garlands

Time flies - just around the corner and the New Year! Now is the time to start getting ready for this fun holiday!

Our first priority will be to create a festive mood - and this mood should be enough for the entire Christmas and New Year holidays! To do this, we need to think carefully about how we will decorate our pre-holiday home? As you know, just the surrounding atmosphere greatly affects the emotions of people who are in it.

What do we need for a festive mood? Of course, a festive table, cheerful family members at the table and ... luxurious paper garlands on the walls and under the ceiling! Moreover, these garlands must be made by hand with the obligatory participation in the "action" of all family members - from young to old! In this scenario, the festive mood will be provided to everyone!

In order to decide and understand what we still need, let's look at the proposed schemes and photos of New Year's garlands, and then we will analyze the most popular options step by step:

Let's now take a closer look at paper garlands, ranging from elementary chains to more voluminous and time-consuming decorations.

Fold each sheet in half and cut it with scissors;

Cut the paper into strips;
Lay out all the strips in the right order (we have laid them out according to the spectrum), sew them in the center with a thread and a needle, or, to make the garland look neater, use the services of a sewing machine. There is another option, for those who are afraid of direct contact with needle threads - just glue the thread to the center of the strips with glue!

Now a few important nuances: in order for your garland to acquire volume and fluffiness, simply twist the thread when hanging several times; Candy wrappers folded in strips or strips of glitter wrapping paper are ideal as a material for colored stripes, then here's what we do:

For such openwork hearts, we cut paper of different colors into strips of 5, 10, 12, 15 cm. Moreover, it is desirable that strips of the same size be made in the same color - this makes it easier to assemble the product. We collect such hearts with a stapler;

Today is a rather interesting topic, just a couple more weeks and it will affect every family in the universe. Guess what I'm talking about? Yes, yes, it will absolutely be right to make garlands with your own hands. I remember in my childhood we made products of this type. Only before it was much easier. In my memory, this is an ordinary chain of colored paper. And sometimes we even competed with each other, who would get the decoration longer. Of course, friendship always wins.

So that's what I'm talking about, you just look at today what a variety of works. And how many master classes can be found on the Internet. And everything is completely accessible, and the material for manufacturing is completely different. You can even experiment and come up with something of your own. By the way, this collection will consider more than one idea. Templates and schemes will also be presented. Who will help you at every stage.

I would like to remind you about previous articles, we have already discussed and. If you haven't seen it yet, follow the links. And let's not forget about. It should be approached responsibly, most recently I told you which ones can be prepared for the festive table. By the way, very diverse, for sure you will find something to your liking.

A little off topic, it's time to return and start our selection. Enjoy watching and don't forget to share your results in the comments. I will be glad to everyone...

DIY paper garland for the new year 2019

And of course, first of all, we will consider what garlands can be made from paper. After all, there are a lot of such works. And making a choice is not easy enough. Therefore, we will analyze with you the most popular and original decorations for walls, windows, and apartments in general.

And here is one of the first presented ideas. Everything is pretty simple here. It is enough to stock up on old newspaper records. Pre-make a template from thick cardboard in the form of various shapes: stars, hearts, etc. We attach ready-made templates to paper and cut out the shapes. We will fasten them together with glue and a regular thread.

Observe the distance between the cut parts. No need to sculpt on each other. Otherwise, the garland will look shapeless.

And here is a detailed master class, which is similar to the previous version. The only difference is that in this case I use a special stapler to cut the product. By the way, this is in great demand among creative personalities.

Well, for example, do-it-yourself postcards, where almost all the details are cut out using such a device. If you don't have it in stock, don't worry. It will take a little more time, but the result will surely please you.

Here is another rather interesting way. In this work, we do not need glue, but sewing skills will come in handy. See the usual circle shape, but in fact it looks very funny. I think in this way you can decorate the nursery not only for the new year, but also for an ordinary weekday. So to speak, to create some elements of the decor of the room.

And here, in addition to plain paper, we added red pearls. And the satin ribbon holds all this beauty. By the way, the colors of such work can be completely different. What if you cut out blue snowflakes and diversify them with white beads. Think about it….

The right colors are the key to success. Do not save on paper to achieve the desired result.

I remember in my childhood there was no variety of such master classes. And I’m generally silent about the Internet, we didn’t even know what it was. And then my brother and I cut out small strips of paper. Then they twisted them into a circle and glued them together. Thus, a bright chain was obtained.

This work is done a little differently, but the finished garland is very similar to ours from childhood. By the way, you can choose one of the two options below. Or make both, the choice is yours.

What a new year 2019 troubles of snowflakes. Did you know that they can decorate not only windows, but also your apartment. The main thing is to show maximum effort. This work will be a little more complicated than the usual decoration for windows. But, how pleased with the finished result.

Everything is quite easy here. Follow the diagram below and you'll be fine. The paper in this case is not thick. The ideal option would be the option of the "Snow Maiden" type. This is regular paper for printing.

And this is the real New Year's Eve. Everything is so fabulous and gentle, by the way, the birds and Christmas trees are all made from the same newspaper. But the spruce branch in the snow is made of decorative stamens. They are hooked together, and then finished paper products are attached. So, everything is easy and simple, and most importantly quite beautiful.

We decide on the option that suits you and proceed to the next subheading.

Schemes and patterns of New Year's garlands made of colored paper

Let's move on to the next subheading. We will talk about no less interesting ideas for making garlands. And I propose to start with the most interesting. This is the first time I have come across this kind of work on the Internet. And the first thing that hooked me in it was a minimum of actions. We do not have to use and fasten something with glue. It is enough to follow all the instructions and you will definitely succeed.

Let's start with the first stage of making an elegant decoration. We take a landscape sheet of the desired color. In our case, it is pink. Divide it into two equal parts along the length. Then we bend each exactly in the middle.

Now we make cuts from one edge. We will cut not reaching the edge of 5-7 mm. Our garland is almost ready. Now unfold it and move it apart. If you want to get a product of a longer shape, then glue two or three blanks together. Until you reach the right size for yourself.

If you want to make a more voluminous garland, then a sheet of paper should be folded into three. Make cuts in the same way. And glue several blanks together if necessary.

Here we have prepared such a wonderful stretch. It can decorate not only windows. But also the walls of the apartment or your house. By the way, you can play with colors. And use different, so to speak, create a composition.

Everything is pretty simple here. Look, we take a sheet, all the same landscape. We divide it all into the same two parts. Then we cut into strips, the width of one is up to 1.5 cm, no more. We fasten them together with a thread, again you have to use a sewing machine. Although this method requires additional skills from you, I assure you this is only a plus. Thus, the product will be ready in the shortest possible time. Just have time to put the next stripe.

And this method will be ideal for those who are not at all friends with technology. We will sew by hand with the help of threads and a needle. But first prepare the required number of forms. And there should be a lot of them, again, it all depends on the length of the finished work.

The work is simplified by everyone's favorite stapler. Oh, how easy it is to prepare a lot of different shapes with it. I still recommend using different colors. Do not get hung up on one, but if your interior requires it, then of course this is another matter.

Please note that a certain distance is observed between the hearts. Again, do not sculpt on top of each other.

This one is a bit similar to the previous one, but there is still a difference in it. And of course it is first of all a form. First of all, we need to cut rectangular blanks of different colors. Then lay out the thread along the length, and next to it is cut paper.

Now we bend the rectangular shapes so that the thread is in the center. We fix everything with glue, let the garland dry. And then proceed to the next step, we will cut out small triangles. Thus giving our product the shape of a flag. You can see it in more detail in the figure.

Let's start making the next garland. I will not describe the process, because The photo below is very detailed. I will say one thing that this activity will be very exciting for your children. I don't know, I really enjoyed folding those papers. And then we assembled our apartment decoration together.

Let's talk about the next item. This work is done from thick paper. As you can see in the figure, a previously defined segment must be folded into an accordion. Then follow the steps below.

If there are no questions at this stage, then proceed to the next one. Everything is pretty simple here. Now we connect the edges of our work and fix it with glue. It turned out the shape of a flashlight. To recreate it into reality. We put the finished product on a lamp garland. And voila, look what a beauty we got.

And finally, this subtitle, I would like to consider one more work. Made all from the same segments. Only not in the form of a circle and flags, but hearts. All this beauty is attached to the brackets. It is enough just to start, and you will not even notice how in a short time you will receive the product of the desired size.

So we figured out the colored paper. It's time to move on to the next option for making decorations for your home.

Miracle garland of snowmen

And this garland is remembered to me since the childhood. And it's all about these beautiful snowmen. And in their simple manufacturing technique. Well, I think it's time to start .... For the manufacture of this type of garland, we need a minimum of material. And of course more of your imagination.

First, let's prepare a template, it's not difficult to do. You can use ours and print it in the desired size.

Now take a sheet of paper and fold it horizontally. In the center you will have a line, we carefully cut the sheet along it. The result was two blanks.

Now fold them one after another and fasten with glue or tape. Thus, repeat this manipulation until you get the desired length.

Fold the resulting segment in the shape of an accordion. Attach the template to the front side, circle with a simple pencil.

Now cut out the drawn snowman shape. This should be done as carefully as possible. So that the resulting accordion does not budge. Secure with staples to secure.

Unfold the snowmen and start decorating them. Draw eyes, decorate a fur coat and a hat. In a word, it's time to turn on the fantasy. And I will help you a little. I will present several ready-made options.

By the way, there are a lot of patterns of this type of garland. And you can choose not only snowmen, but something more suitable for yourself.

A wonderful penguin, by the way, the dotted line indicates those places that can be decorated with different colors.

And here is another interesting idea that I found on the vast Internet. Pretty original idea. And the snowmen are like real ones, all with panicles, and they are happy. It is clear that they are ready for the new year. The decorations are a bit lacking in my opinion. Nevertheless, the holiday is on the threshold and it requires more brightness and fun from us.

So we put the snowmen aside and move on to the next material. By the way, familiar to many of you. Now you will learn more about it.

Simple ideas for a garland of felt with toys + patterns

As in the previous subheadings, I want to start with the simplest options. Available not only for experienced craftsmen, but also for beginners in creativity. I remember that we have already made a garland of hearts with you. There are similarities in this idea. All the same form, only the material we will use is different.

Of course, this is felt, very pleasant to the touch. And it is made by felting wool. It is usually sold in small rolls of different sizes. Yes, and its thickness can be absolutely any. And of course, the color, which by the way is not a little important for us.

Well, let's start making. First decide on the size of the hearts. And you can actually try. Just take a piece of the prepared material and fold it into the desired shape.

So, let's assume we have decided on the size. Cut off the required section. Now sew from the inside on the sewing machine as shown in the picture above. Then return it to its original position and sew again. As a result, get a shape in the form of a "sleeve".

Well, everything is half done. There are only a couple of manipulations left. Now cut the finished “sleeve” into several parts, each at least 1 cm wide. And sew them together with a thread and a needle. H

The felt does not crumble, so there is no need to worry about this moment during the eruption of the material.

Do not rush to throw away the remnants of felt from previous works. Better see what kind of garland you can make from them. True, first you have to conjure over these remnants. And give each of them the shape of the desired size.

Now just connect, or rather, sew all the blanks together in the center. And your work is ready to decorate the house.

But what garlands can be made from felt toys. And they can be completely different, both in shape and in color.

Here's some more interesting work. It looks like nothing out of the ordinary at first glance. But looking at such a toy, as if you find yourself in a fairy tale. In which you will definitely meet with the New Year's miracle.

I present to your attention a few more ready-made options. And then follow the patterns on which you can make such a toy, and subsequently a garland.

This work was supplemented with ribbons. Which at times made it much more interesting. By the way, look at how well the colors are chosen.

Here is another interesting idea. It seems like ordinary clothespins, but in this version they complement the composition. And these decorative berries, in a word, everything is chosen correctly.

As promised, I post templates for cutting. It is enough to attach them to the felt, then cut them out and you can start sewing. By the way, there are a lot of seams and you can choose the right one. I present them to you below...

So we return to the promised patterns. We save the article to our bookmarks so as not to lose sight of it. After all, the new year is just around the corner, remember guys.

Here's the gingerbread man. I think everyone remembers and knows him. By the way, the color in this case should be chosen appropriate, to be more precise, it should be a brown tint. And don't forget the festive red. We perform a butterfly and a heart in this version.

Another small selection of the most popular felt toys. Sleighs, balloons, snowmen and holiday balls. We go down below and choose the right idea.

Here are a couple more templates. Once you decide on an option, get to work. The technique for making these toys is very simple. It just takes a little effort. And you will definitely succeed.

And here is a small master class on a felt toy for you. By the way, with the rest of the work, all the equipment is similar to this one.

Let's go down and move on to the next subheading. Let's take a look at some more great ideas.

We make a garland from improvised means

Yes, the topic is quite interesting and it is simply impossible not to touch it. You can make a garland out of just about anything. But many of you don't even think about it. Let's show you a couple of options, and maybe later you will meet something you don't need at home. But stop in time and make some interesting little thing.

And here is one of the very first ideas. We will need wooden corks from wine, beads or beads, threads and a strong needle. Now we put the thread on the needle. We pass the corks through it, alternating them with beads.

If you decide to use beads to decorate this work, then it is better to take a fishing line. A smaller needle and first make a hole in the center of the pieces of wood with an awl.

The length of such a product can be absolutely any, so to speak, at your discretion.

See what kind of garland you can make from ordinary threads. But first, they need to be prepared properly. We'll talk more about this below, so let's get down.

Here is another master class to improve our skills. Well, that are ready for viewing, then we begin.

So immediately get small balls, but in large quantities. If you plan to make a large garland. Be sure to inflate it to the desired size. Then we wrap it with a thin thread and lower it into pva glue, dipping it well. Now let the product dry thoroughly. It is advisable to leave it in this state overnight. This is how we deal with all the balls, by the way, the colors can be completely different (I'm talking about the thread).

When the threads are completely dry, it's time to remove the balloon. This is done very simply, pierce it with a sharp needle and carefully remove it. Voila, the decoration is ready, it remains only to put the resulting product on garland bulbs and you can start decorating the room.

Another rather interesting and most importantly budget idea. It will look perfect in your room and decorate windows. This garland is based on ordinary cotton pads.

For the manufacture will require a minimum of material. To be more precise, this is a needle with a white thread and cotton pads. We sew the disks with a thread, observing the distance between them. We attach the finished garland to the window.

Another “tenderness” is exactly what I decided to call this product. And all because it will fly over your room like a cloud. This work is similar to the previous one, but the main material was replaced with ordinary cotton wool, which was previously shaped into a circle by slightly twisting it between the palms. Fastened with the same thread. But you can fix it not only to the window frame, but also to the ceiling.

Let's return to the balls, but to the soft and fluffy ones created by our own hands. Look, did you make such pompoms as a child? I remember how we quietly pulled yarn from my mother and made such products. And just look, after all, this blank can serve as a future garland.

First, select the yarn you need colors. And then proceed to stitching all the pompoms together. Or just thread straight through the center. By the way, the size of such a garland can be absolutely any. It all depends on the size of the pom poms.

And finally, I will tell you about one more option. I'm sure you never thought about it. Despite the fact that such material catches the eye quite often. Another clue is food. Yes, of course it's popcorn. And from it we will create a decoration. Just thread these airs through the thread with a needle. Fasten at the ends and start decorating. It seems so simple at first glance, but how much beauty. Do not pull, quickly get to work.

Variants of a New Year's garland for a garden

And of course, we didn’t forget about the garden either. Probably each of you has come across a request from educators to bring some crafts. So we are no exception, our task is to decorate the group for the new year. And of course it should be an economy option. That is, we make jewelry from the most ordinary material, so as not to spend a lot. And here are some suitable ideas, bright and very practical. By the way, you can connect your baby to such work.

Of course, the ideal option in our case would be a decoration made of colored paper. And here is one of the submitted works. A detailed manufacturing scheme is attached. The main thing is not to forget to involve your child in the work, everything here is quite simple.

I remember flashlights from my childhood. But even today they have lost their popularity. The same applies to parents as well. When nothing comes to mind, as they say, "remember hands."

Well, and one more familiar work, all from the same colored paper or cardboard. This is the chain I already mentioned at the beginning of our article. But now I want to remind you again. I think a detailed manufacturing scheme is not needed in this case. Here, in principle, everything is clear.

And if you want something newer, then here are a couple of ideas for you. In the first version, we will make snowmen from cotton pads. As a decoration, we will use bright satin ribbons.

In the second option, we will make the same snowmen, but from ordinary covers. The availability of which will have to be taken care of in advance.

Such work will most likely serve more as a pendant, for example, on a door. Or you can decorate your little one's locker. In one word, there is an idea, but how to use it is up to you.

Video on how to make a garland of cones and nuts (master class)

And in the conclusion of the article, I still don’t want to disregard another method for making garlands. I present to your attention a detailed master class, with a step-by-step description of the entire process. So to speak from, but to z. And a creative person with great experience will tell us about this. But I assure you that the work is not difficult at all. If you put in the maximum amount of effort, you will definitely succeed.

Let's get comfortable and get to work. If necessary, you can prepare a pen and notebook. Perhaps they will be useful to you during the description of the stages of work.

I really liked the garland. Especially this edible surprise, which is hidden in foil. I think not only children, but also adults will be happy with such decorations. And look how well everything is matched, walnut cones. And so that all the beauty does not look monotonous, foil was used. I am completely delighted, many thanks to the author of the video.

So many New Year's garlands can be made with your own hands. And don't buy them in the store. I assure you that everyone will be able to decorate their apartment using all the ideas presented. And there are plenty to choose from. The main thing is not to be lazy and get down to business today.

Guys, it's time to say goodbye, how quickly time passes. It seems that as soon as you start writing an article, your thoughts have already come to a conclusion. But despite this, I will prepare them for a new note.

See you soon dear readers!

How to decorate your house before the holiday, bring solemnity and taste to its atmosphere? The easiest and most creative way is DIY paper garlands. Today there is nothing easier than making jewelry yourself. Even a young student can cope with this. On this page you will find a variety of schemes for making themed garlands, as well as interesting templates with which you can cut out an innumerable number of decorations for home and office.

Paper garlands "Ribbon Rainbow"

You can hang this garland both vertically and horizontally. In the latter case, it is better to attach a weight, such as plasticine, to the end of the thread.

1. Fold the colored paper in half and cut the halves.

2. Cut strips from colored paper.

3. Prepare the thread and fold your strips in the desired sequence.

4. Sew all the strips together using a sewing machine or thread with a needle.

* You can twist the ribbon to make the garland look "fluffy".

* Colored paper or cardboard can be replaced with wrapping paper, which is usually used to wrap gifts.

* If you don't want to stitch, you can try gluing a thread to each strip - this will take longer and it is desirable that the thread is thicker.

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. If you nevertheless entrust this simple task to a child, it is better to draw in advance with a pencil the lines along which he should cut - this will make it easier for the child to work.

Garland "And they dry on a rope ..."

How do you like this idea: in the middle of the room there is a clothesline, on which old Santa and his faithful deer hung their holiday clothes to dry: red caps, mittens, boots with bells, big pants, a bag ... First you have to sew miniature clothes (you can, of course, get similar in toy stores, but it will be more expensive), and then secure them with small clothespins (you can use large ones, of course). If you don’t want to fool around for a long time, hang your mittens or colorful socks to “dry”. And you can mix both. You can simply cut out multi-colored boots from felt or paper and string them on a thread.

How to make a garland "Christmas rings"

This method of making a garland is one of the most popular. This is not only because it is quite simple, but also because it allows you to make beautiful paper decorations for the home, and in particular for the Christmas tree.

1. Prepare colored paper and measure the same width for the strips you will cut out.

2. Start cutting strips. The length of each will be equal to the width of a sheet of paper (i.e. 21 cm) and the width will be approximately 3.5 cm.

* You can make a garland from shorter and narrower strips, then the rings will be smaller.

3. Glue the strips by threading one through the other (see picture).

* You can close the circuit.

Garland "Volumetric stars"

Such stars easily spin from paper tapes one or two centimeters wide. Carefully study the photo-instruction and go!

Paper Christmas garlands "Unusual chains"

Prepare colored paper, scissors and glue. It is easy to make such a garland.

1. To make an unusual chain, you need to fold a piece of paper in half and draw, for example, one of the shapes shown in the picture.

* In order not to waste a whole sheet of paper on one link, you can cut it into 2 or 4 identical parts, from which you will cut the links later.

* For convenience, you can make a link template.

2. Cut out the shapes and start gluing them together to make a chain by threading one link through the other.

* The longer you want to make the chain, the more links you will need.

* You can use many different colors to make the garland even more colorful.

How to make a garland "Chain" for decorating a house out of paper

You can use 2 or more colors.

1. First you need to make a preparation. Cut several strips of the same size. In the picture, the strips are 2 cm wide and 17 cm long.

* It is advisable that you comply with the following condition: width / length of the strips = 1/8 + 1 cm spare.

2. Mark the center of the strip by folding it in half and straightening it.

3. Bend the ends of the strip to its middle and fold the strip in half again.

4. Prepare a few of these blanks to start assembling a garland. The picture shows how to fold the blanks together.

* This garland can be hung on the wall. Due to the fact that it does not bend much, it will be difficult to hang it on a Christmas tree, but it still looks impressive.

Garland of hearts

The pictures show detailed instructions on how to assemble a garland cordially.

This version of the garland can be complicated, and you get such a beautiful product.

Garlands for the New Year "Colorful home decoration"

Prepare colored paper, scissors and glue (you can replace it with a stapler or tape).

Volumetric New Year's garland

Here is a pretty simple but very original garland idea that can be hung on a window or just anywhere in the house.

Garland for the Christmas tree "Merry candy wrappers"

Very beautiful tinsel can be obtained from ordinary wrappers.

1. Cut the wrapper into several identical pieces.

* The pieces can be 2x4 or 3x5 in size, and depending on the size of the wrapper, there can be 3, 4 or 6 pieces.

Amazing paper garlands

Perhaps the simplest and most popular New Year's garlands that can be made at home, even with the involvement of a child, are paper garlands. For these purposes, it can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from ordinary colored sheets to lace napkins and multi-colored adhesive tapes.

Such decorations are even made in kindergartens and elementary grades, so anyone can handle them. So, you will need paper, scissors and glue. Sheets of paper are cut into strips of the same width (to make this easier, divide the paper with a ruler and pencil in advance).

The cut strips are glued 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.

The stripes can be replaced with circles, triangles, or any other shapes that come to your mind. By the way, instead of paper, you can use bright felt, such products will turn out to be more durable.

Garlands made from natural materials

Why throw away tangerine or orange peels when they can easily be used as a handy material? We cut out cute figures from the peel, for example, hearts, stars, faces, snowmen and so on.

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. Instead of skin, you can use apples and ordinary spruce cones, sometimes they are dyed in some extraordinary color, or simply put on a thread in their natural form.

If we create a New Year's mood, then how can we do without decorating our home. Therefore, today we make garlands for the new year with our own hands. Previously, we have already mastered, and.

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!

So, the most accessible material for us is paper. Therefore, let's remember our childhood and go cut, glue and enjoy life. if you have children or younger brothers, sisters, then invite them to participate in this process. Because it's so interesting!

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.

Details can be not only flat, but also voluminous. For example, such 3D origami Christmas trees.

The kids will also love the idea of a candy garland. By the way, they can be made from real wrappers.

And this photo shows a step-by-step master class for creating the sweets themselves.

Quite an unusual idea with ballerina snowflakes. Of these, you can make decorations on the windows and on the Christmas tree. Attached are templates and workflow.

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.

The photo shows the steps for folding such a blank.

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.

Lots of snowman ideas.

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.

What other ideas to take? Yes, let's take a look around. After all, there are a lot of winter symbols, for example, a hat.

Light bulbs from electric garlands.

Look at the night sky, there are so many distant stars, for some reason in winter they are associated with blue.

Remember about unusual shapes? So, this instruction shows how to collapse a volumetric rhombus.

This cube is made according to this scheme.

Remember "snake"? It was definitely made by everyone and candy wrappers.

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.

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.

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.

More decorating ideas.

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

This, of course, is only a small part of the ideas. Experiment and create a new option for decor.

Decorations from plastic bottles and cups

This material is not very popular, but it is quite easy to use. Most often, plafonds for a garland are made from cups. It acquires a soft diffused light. And you can decorate them with eyes, hats and scarves.

Plastic bottles are often used to make snowflakes and other individual decorative elements. For example, rings like in this idea.

They can also be combined with lids. Holes for the thread in them can be made with a red-hot knitting needle or an awl.

Fabric flags

Flags can be different: square, triangular. Paper and soft. Glued or stitched. Today I will focus on the idea of fabric. Because there are as many as three ways to connect elements.

Fasten the parts with ribbon or bias tape. For this you need a sewing machine. Otherwise, it won't be accurate.

The second option is to sew pockets for the cord.

The third option is to simply make slots into which the thread is inserted.

Well, for inspiration, the idea with burlap. Looks just awesome.

You think now you understand that there are no boundaries for creativity at all.

Cone Decoration Ideas

Of course, bumps! What did we not do with them! One is worth it. And we can make a garland just to spit.

For beauty, the material can be spray-painted or dipped in gouache and acrylic paint.

Natural material looks harmonious with eco-friendly ideas. For example with dried berries or fruits.

This material will also feel good on the street. It won't get wet like paper if it snows.

For decoration, take Christmas tree branches. You can attach them to the ceiling curtain or to the eaves.

As you can see, everything is very beautiful and very affordable. It is not at all necessary to buy expensive jewelry when there are such ideas under your nose.

Tell VK

A garland is the fastest and easiest way to decorate your home for the holidays. How to make it? In fact, you just need to hang more of any beauty on the threads and that's it! We offer 18 simple, but very original New Year's garlands that you can make with your own hands.

1. Standard "snake"

Manufacturing technique: Cut out a large circle from paper and, stepping back a centimeter or another from the edge, start cutting off the tape (see photo) until you reach the center. If you nevertheless entrust this simple task to a child, it is better to draw in advance with a pencil the lines along which he should cut - this will make it easier for the child to work.

2.Garland with soft toys

In this case, you will have to work hard and sew a couple of funny toys - snakes (very important this year), cats, Christmas trees, deer, monkeys ... to your taste. And then just hang them on a long ribbon among coniferous branches and Christmas tree decorations. Perhaps your children have many small soft toys? Then this will make it even easier for you!

3. And they dry on a rope ...

4.Using a typewriter

An express version of the garland is to cut out many, many circles-stars-fir-trees-snowflakes from paper or felt and sew them all in a row using a sewing machine. There is another way to make such beauty - but here you need twice as many star circles, since the thread will be glued "inside" the two parts (see photo).

5. Tags

Cut out “tags” from thick paper or cardboard. The bigger, the better. Each of them can be arranged in your own way: write wishes on one, make a drawing on the other, stick a photo on the third, a clipping from a magazine on the fourth, write the names of relatives and loved ones on the fifth, sixth and seventh, cut out a big heart on the eighth , on the ninth - glue a miniature snowflake, etc. Now it remains only to string them on a ribbon or tourniquet. You can involve the whole family in making such a garland - let everyone write their wishes for the next year.

6.Use natural materials

Don't throw away orange, lemon, or tangerine peels - they can be a great material for a Christmas or New Year's garland. Cut out funny figures from the peel (stars, faces, hearts, Santa Claus hat, snowman, snowflake ...) and use a needle to string them onto a thread. Such a garland will not only be a beautiful decoration, but also give a persistent citrus aroma, which can be emphasized by lightly sprinkling cinnamon on the skin and piercing it with cloves in some places.

Very beautiful and original garlands are obtained from cones and apples. Try pairing them with the same orange peel, cinnamon sticks, or spruce branches, or paint the buds a different color.

7. By the principle of the chain

Another simple version of a garland is to cut the ribbon into small pieces of 10-15 cm and glue them together, linking them together like a chain.

8.Colorful pom-poms

Soft lumps of happiness - pom-poms. They remind us of those fluffy balls that adorned our warm clothes in childhood - funny dangling on mittens, scarves, hats and socks. Make many, many bright pompoms, string them on a thread and decorate the Christmas tree with them. Or you can make a pile of snow-white balls and create an imitation of snowballs hanging from a chandelier or cornice.

9. Volumetric stars

Such stars easily spin from paper tapes one or two centimeters wide. Carefully study the photo-instruction and go!

10. Garland of gifts

You, like a real needlewoman, do not even throw away matchboxes? And now, on the eve of the new year, do not know where to put all this rubbish? Pack small boxes in gift paper (you must have kept assorted pieces from past packages, right?) And decorate with miniature bows. Such "gifts", strung on a thread or a tourniquet, become a wonderful element of festive decor, and not only New Year's! With such boxes you can beautifully decorate the table, decorate candlesticks with them, and you can twist the Christmas tree with a garland or just pull it in the middle of the room.

11. Lace fir trees

If you're lucky and got hold of round lace doilies, then this garland option is for you! These wonderful Christmas trees will become a feature of your New Year's decor!

12. Flashlights

Such a garland can at any moment turn into a series of real lanterns, just put one of them on the table and light a candle inside - a pill.

13. A garland of photographs

A great idea is to attach a number of your family photos with clothespins on a long cord, especially if these are photos of your previous New Year's gatherings! Let the garland be replenished with a new picture every year, and so another cute tradition will appear in your family.

14. Angels

Hang a garland of snow-white angels over your holiday table, and put a couple on the table - these winged light creatures have the peculiarity of giving others a sense of miracle with their mere presence.

15. Two-color paper garland

Fold two paper circles of different colors (as shown in the photo) and make a couple of cuts. Then expand both circles, slightly level them and glue them together in four places (if you mentally draw a cross on the circle, then the gluing points will be at the ends of the cross). Next, make a few more of the same details. Now all the "links" need to be glued. Such a garland is good because it does not wrinkle during storage, but folds into one continuous pancake.

16. With one hand

We often indulged in such crafts in childhood, so it will not be difficult to repeat the same procedure today! Try to cut out not just Christmas trees or men, complicate the task and cut out funny penguins, deer, Santa Claus, snowmen.

17. Scrapbooking and fantasy

Use your imagination and the tricks of scrapbooking, the art of turning paper into a masterpiece, in working on a garland. Age the paper, put stamps on it, cut out the most interesting things from old postcards, etc. And then hang these miniature collage pictures around the room like flags.

18. Quite unusual

If you gravitate towards outrageous and art decor, make a garland out of corks or arrange a “running light” in disposable cups! Get creative and you might want to use scraps of newspaper, old spoons, bottle caps, tin cans or miniature flower pots!
