How to make a beautiful Christmas paper garland
- Take one of your colored sheets and fold it in half vertically.
- Using a pen to draw a Christmas tree or any other design you like being careful to finish your drawing at the folded edge. (see diagram below). For this design we chose the color green for trees and yellow for the ornament balls. However, use any color paper you like and or varying patterns (trees, stars, balls, hearts, gingerbread men, etc).
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 of this process a second time with a different design.
- Keep the paper folded and cut out the designs of each colored sheet to get the double symetric pattern.
- Cut a long piece of string the length you need for your garland decoration. Attach the string on the table with tape in order to secure the string to work readily.
- Slide the cut out patterns under the string and center, alternating colored patterns.
- Use the glue to attach the two parts together of each design. (see diagram below)
