How to make a garland?
1. Corrugated paper is great for creating garlands, because it is an order of magnitude stronger due to the special texture, but any other colored paper is also suitable. Even if it happens that it ruptures, you can easily glue the damaged fragment with glue or tape.
2. Next, bend the paper with an accordion.
3. Having decided on the picture, decide for yourself and what size it will be.
4. Put a drawing. You can do this using a template or just by hand. The drawing should be so large that its edges abut against the folds of the paper. Plus think over the compositional moment. In our case, the snowmen will hold on to the handles, and the stars will be connected by beams. Although if the flowers, for example, just stretch out in a line - it will also be quite nice.
5. Cut out the pattern, taking into account the fact that the places where the figures will be joined do not need to be cut. That is, the folds of the paper should remain intact.
6. Expand and see your garland. To make it even more interesting, add some details to it. So we drew little faces for the stars and snowmen and they immediately became more cheerful.

If the garland is too short, you can repeat all the steps again, and then connect the two (three, four) links with glue, tape or a stapler.
Since it is very simple to make this decoration, involve a child in the work. Just imagine how pleasant it will be for him to see his creation on the Christmas tree or somewhere else, and tell his friends that he took part in such an important business - this is generally a reason for pride!
Such a garland can be hung under the ceiling, on eaves and doors, or use it as an original curtain holder.
Try it and you will succeed!
