I was looking for a paper garland for a creative workshop and never really found the one I was looking for. Then I thought maybe I could make one? I’m not exactly that creative when it comes to actually creating things, from scratch. However, when work slows down a little, I do like making little things during the Winter months. You might remember these paper stars I made a few years back. This garland is very similar to make.

You will need:

• paper (I only had this golden tissue paper at home but use any kind and any colour

• scissors

• twine (don’t use garden twine but something a lot thinner)

• glue

Cut out rectangular (or square) but shapes from your paper. You can vary the size of them, of course. Fold them up like a harmonica (as shown) and then make a hole in the middle. I cut it just a tiny bit with the scissors, a small hole enough for the twine to go through. Position your half star where you want it to be on your garland and then glue together the top bits in a way that the twine sits between them. And repeat. As long as you want.
