When the term paper garland comes about, most people may think of the red and green loops connected together to create a chain of garland. However, there are a number of ways to create garland using construction paper, scissors, tape, and ribbon or Christmas colored twine.
Christmas Light Garland
Materials:
- 1 pack Colored Construction Paper with Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Black, and Pink Paper in it
- 1-2 Rolls of scotch tape or glue or staples and a stapler
- 1-2 rolls of Christmas colored ribbon or twine
- Scissors
- Different Colored Glitters (optional)
- Cut out light bulb shapes using a variety of colors or one specific color (except black). Cut enough to o around the tree.
- Cut out 4 inch rectangles from the black and brown papers for each light bulb.
- Staple, tape, or paste one end of the black rectangle to the top of each light bulb.
- If using glitter and glue, lay on a flat surface with cardboard underneath and draw Christmas shapes, write names, or write Merry Christmas or a message on the bulbs usin the glue and sprinkle glitter on top. Let dry.
- Lay the ribbon or string out on the ground and place the lights on it, in desired order, by folding the remaining black rectangle over the ribbon and securing with staple, glue, or tape to the back of the paper bulb.
- Wrap around the tree.
This is a really fun project for kids at Christmas, they will literally want to take over, and very good for snow days. Merry Christmas!!!
