Christmas Crafts #1: Garlands

Emily Williams 10 months ago 12 min read

Pompom Garland (or wreath!):

Pom-poms are a great way to bring some festive fun into your home at Christmas- and you can tailor the colours to how you like to suit your home! Instead of making them into a garland you could stick googly-eyes on and turn them into snowmen or other christmassy creatures- the pompom is your oyster!

What you will need for the garland:

  • Scissors
  • Yarn
  • Fingers
  1. Follow this tutorial for how to make a pom-pom- it’s super easy! (Click Here)
  2. Cut three strands of yarn the desired length of your garland. 
  3. Either plait them together or tie knots every few lengths to strengthen the base of your garland. 
  4. Using yarn, tie your pom-poms to the garland- either space them out or bunch them together depending on your desired finish. 
  5. Ta da- your pom pom garland!

Alternatively- if you wanted to turn this into a wreath, purchase a wreath base and glue the pom poms using a glue gun. You may need to first wrap the base in yarn to make it easier to glue pom-poms too.

Christmas Cupcake Garland:

This is a great activity for all ages and can be used to decorate your house or tree for christmas! It makes a garland which you can make as long or short as desired. Add some pegs at the top and you could use it as a Christmas Card hanger too! 

What you will need:

  • Twine or thick string (of desired colour). 
  • Cupcake cases (of at least two colours). 
  • Glue (glue-gun is preferable but most others should work).
  • Mini star stickers.
  1. Fold all your cupcakes into quarters to make a wedge. 
  2. Make sure they are all flat- you’ll need to glue them shut to keep them pinned down.
  3. To assemble a tree, take three cases and stagger them to create a tree-shape. The point needs to be pointing north so it’s like the tip of the tree. 
  4. Glue the cupcake cases together and let dry. 
  5. Stick a star on the top of each tree. 
  6. Repeat with all cases. 
  7. Now take your twine and cut to desired length, stretch on table and weight at each end. 
  8. Space your trees out along the twine and glue down.

Cardboard Gingerbread Garland:

This is a wonderful way to use all those cardboard boxes from your christmas shopping and create an eye catching christmas decoration. Its a great activity for all ages too.

What you will need:

  • Cardboard
  • String
  • Scissors
  • White pen
  • Wooden pegs or glue
  1. Draw out your house designs using a pencil onto your sheet of cardboard.
  2. Cut out all the houses using scissors (or stanly knife).
  3. Using your white pen, draw on all the details of your gingerbread houses on one side, eg. windows, doors, tiles.
  4. Peg each one along your string or twine. Alternatively you could string them along some fairy lights.
