Make your own garlands from buttons

With a few buttons in bright colors you can make such interesting garlands yourself. I'm sure you'll agree that this is really easy to do. You can also take colored string or add other interesting items.

Fairy lights

Spice up a string of lights by tying colored strips of fabric at even intervals around the cord. For Christmas decorations, choose appropriate colors such as white, red or green. Of course, extravagant colors are also allowed.

Sew from fabric

If you have a knack for sewing, create pretty Christmas motifs and then fashion them into a garland. There are no limits to your imagination.

Make from paper

Interesting craft ideas can be made not only with fabric strips, but also with paper strips. For this idea, the strips are simply rolled up and stapled. The shapes of the figures are reminiscent of pine cones. Just try it!

Fabric and ribbon used

Charming and glamorousChristmas decorations can becan be made very quickly even at the last minute. If you want to make great garlands yourself, you need to get some craft supplies in advance - some ribbon, colorful wrapping paper and brocade. This elegant idea is not only very cheap, but can also be quickly recreated without instructions.

Craft with pine cones

Without natural products, the Christmas decorations would only be half as beautiful! Pine cones can be spray painted and then sewn with thread. This nature-inspired garland beautifully decorates the entrance in both autumn and winter and delights with its bright, cheerful colors.
