EASY D.I.Y HOLIDAY GARLANDS


Garlands are a great way to decorate your house and Christmas trees. They're perfect for adding a festive touch to your house or room during the holidays through the new year.
Here are some cute ideas you can do yourself.
Pom pom garland. You thread them together with a needle, and then you have a cute and colorful garland! Click HERE for a tutorial on how to make your own pom poms (it's pretty easy). You can use whatever colors you want.
Custom message garland. Grab some cardboard, ribbon, scissors, a hole punch, and chalk. Cut out as many cardboard rectangles as you need to spell out your word, then carefully spell it out with chalk. Use a hole punch to make two holes in each rectangle and thread the ribbon through them.
Tissue paper garland. Pick paper in your favorite colors, and get some twine, glue, and scissors. Cut the paper as big as you want, then drape it over the twine so it fold sin half. Glue the edges together.
Cupcake wrapper garland. Choose cute colors and fold them over a piece of string to make a simple and cute decoration.
Doily garland. Use the same idea as the cupcake wrapper one, but use doilies instead. These look cool with different-sized doilies as well.
Colorful tape garland. You can find something called “Washi tape” in craft stores in tons of different patterns. Cut out small pieces, and then double them over a piece of string.
