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 Christmas tree, 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!

Garland of colored paper "Rainbow Ribbons"

DIY colored paper garland

To create this simple but original garland, you will need:

  • Double-sided colored paper of different colors and shades;
  • Scissors;
  • Ruler;
  • A thread with a needle, however, it is better to use a sewing machine.

We turn to the manufacture of colored garlands:

  • First, prepare sheets of colored double-sided paper in all colors of the rainbow;
  • Fold each sheet in half and cut it with scissors;
  • Use a ruler and mark strips of the same width on sheets of colored paper, somewhere around 1-1.5 cm;

  • 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:

Original, right?

And what is most pleasant - there is where to adapt the candy wrappers eaten for the news of the outgoing year!

To make it, you will again need scissors, colored paper, a ruler and a pen, as well as PVA glue.

Again, draw strips of the same width of 2-3.5 cm on sheets of colored paper and carefully cut them out.

And now we just take strips of different colors, connect them into rings, thread the next strip of a different color through the resulting ring and glue it again. And so on until your garland reaches the length you need!

Even a small child can handle the manufacture of this garland, so be sure to introduce your child to such an important moment as creating a paper garland with your own hands for the New Year!
