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.

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.

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.

A paper Christmas tree placed on the wall looks interesting and unusual. It can be made in various sizes, it does not take up space in the room.
To make a wall paper tree, prepare:

corrugated paper with scissors and tape;
adhesive tape with a marker and a knife;
PVA glue with a hook.
First, we form a frame from a cardboard sheet. If you need to make a larger Christmas tree, take a couple of cardboard sheets or pieces of foam. Next, you should cut the corrugated paper with “noodles” for pasting the Christmas tree. It must be glued from the base of the cardboard, gradually rising up. On the other side of the craft, fasten the hook. Instead, you can take double-sided tape, which is glued over the entire surface of the frame. For the formation of a Christmas tree trunk, foam plastic or a cardboard sheet is also suitable, which is pasted over with corrugated paper in the same way, but in a brown tone. Attach the trunk to the tree with duct tape and place the craft on the wall.

Every year, the planet loses several hundred thousand coniferous beauties due to the human need to steadily follow traditions. If you make an unusual Christmas tree with your own hands, you can break this "vicious circle" of annual deforestation. If you just want something new, we offer you to have some fun and make an art tree, which you will not find in any forest!
Christmas tree made of glass balls It sounds paradoxical that in order to make an unusual Christmas tree, it is enough to buy only decorations for it! Christmas beauty made of glass balls will create the right atmosphere in the house and add style to your holiday party. Easy forms, conciseness and nothing more! If the area of the room allows, you can make a three-dimensional figure by attaching Christmas balls on a fishing line to the ceiling and varying the length of the fishing line.
Useful advice: a large Christmas tree with large balls at the base will look very impressive, the diameter of which gradually decreases as it approaches the top. You can hang Christmas balls on a fishing line close to the wall, forming the shape of a Christmas tree. To do this, outline the shape with a simple pencil and mark the points where the decorations should be located. The smaller the diameter of the balls, the more they will be, and vice versa.
In the event that you do not have a large quadrature, you can make a neat Christmas tree out of balls by “planting” it in a flower pot. An interesting solution: you can make a white Christmas tree with your own hands by painting the balls in silver or milky color. A figure made of ordinary light bulbs instead of traditional balls will look very impressive and unusual!
How to make a Christmas tree on the wall from a garland
Another way to build an unusual New Year's art object is to make a Christmas tree on the wall from a garland or durolight. To do this, you need to outline the shape with a pencil and attach the wires in the appropriate position using thin nails or strips of adhesive tape. To do this, it is advisable to use a long garland or several short ones so that the Christmas tree turns out to be more “saturated”.
You can decorate it with small multi-colored balls or cardboard toys. It is better to refrain from an abundance of "rain" and tinsel if you do not want to spend the rest of the New Year's weekend unraveling them from the garland. How to make cardboard Christmas decorations Cardboard Christmas decorations will create a cozy vintage atmosphere and give you and your family a real pleasure, especially if you make them together.
To make such an ornament, you will need the most ordinary cardboard and twine. It is best to use thick multilayer cardboard, which is used to make boxes for parcels or products. Twine can be bought at any hardware store.
Manufacturing process:
As you can see, making an unusual Christmas tree is not so difficult - you just need to show a bit of ingenuity and imagination. You can save money on buying a cut down tree, which then one way or another will have to be thrown away. Why not spend some time getting creative instead, by making an artificial Christmas tree with your own hands?
