4 DIY Christmas Garlands.
Classic Christmas decorations are not very original!
More and more people are opting for personal and unique garlands that are nonetheless modern, artistic and frankly pretty!
With winter coming, what are we going to do to occupy the children? Garlands, of course!
You can leave room to your imagination or use the following 4 creative techniques:
1. A vintage garland
Get yourself a fabric you like.
Cut out a 3 cm strip that you fold across the width.
A small seam to make a tube and all you have to do is put on a cotillion and tie a knot, put on a cotillion and tie a knot, put on a cotillion ...
Guaranteed effect!
2. A subtle garland
You have little onespearlslying around in the closet? Here is a good (and long) activity for your darling daughter ...
She will put them on a fairly strong thread and presto, voila! Avoid beads that are too big, they might be too heavy for the tree.
3. A pop garland
The animators of summer camps are well aware of this technique which is THE garland of boom evenings!
Take 2 rolls of crepe paper of different colors (red and white for me).
Without unwinding the paper, cut a strip of about 5 cm in width.
Staple one end of each strip you just cut in your two rolls perpendicularly.
Pinch the stapled ends in your left hand. Red is above? Take the white strip and put it on top. White is on top now? Take the red strip and bring it over.
And let's go, we weave.
4. A gourmet garland
With candies and gift ribbon, here is a garland for the tree that we can enjoy after the Christmas holidays!
I staple, on the ribbon or raffia, a candy every 5 cm. You can keep this garland as is. Otherwise, I like to staple the ribbon and its candies on an old garland. Recycling greedy, practical and very cute!
Savings made
Buying the most classic garlands quickly comes down to € 15 minimum. All this to have the same tree as on TV and less impressive! I am skeptical!
Better to make them yourself. Tinkering frees our mind, awakens our creativity and what we are proud of when we are done! Look at what you can find in your home to recycle as a garland.
There is no point in spending money. You will inevitably find something to do!
Your turn...
