Christmas tree garlands can do everything, why not use this year more original materials? Moreover, the symbol of the upcoming 2012,Dragon, loves everything unusual, so it's a sin to miss the opportunity to appease him. Specially, you will not have to buy anything, many materials for garlands will surely be found in your home.

For example, a very original garland can come from colorful pieces of thick fabric - felt, drape, etc. If you have a shred of sewing or a coat that you can not wear anymore, and it's a shame to throw it out, it's time to put them into action. Cut the fabric in the same pieces. It can be just squares, circles and triangles, and you can choose a more unusual form. The size of the pieces depends on the size of your Christmas tree. Then string the finished parts onto the thread and tie the strong knots from both ends of the garland so that it does not fall apart. This garland will give your Christmas tree a homely, cozy look.

Cozy Christmas garlands can be produced from threads. If you are knitting, you probablythere are remnants of tangles, which are actually not enough for knitting. Carefully fasten the tips of the threads in the tangles so that they do not unwind, and string the multicolored balls onto a strong thread. You can interleave the glomerulus with beads, beads, etc.

Can do beads for Christmas-tree garlands and from other materials, for example, foil. It should be cut into squares about 20x20 cm in size, then roll each square into a ball and thread the balls on a string. And to make beads for garlands of paper, you need to cut it into long narrow triangles. Each triangle needs to be rolled into a "roll" from the wide edge to the narrow one, as if you are making a "croissant". Secure the tip with a drop of glue. To make the beads do not roll too tightly (then they will be hard to string), wind it out on a cocktail, which can then be easily removed.

A more laborious option is Christmas tree garlands from CDs. We think you will have old scratcheddiscs that can be put into action. You can just do a hole in the top of each disc and thread it on a strong thread, or you can make different figures from the disks.

But keep in mind that it is a laborious and insecure matter. You will need scissors for this purpose.sharp straight blades, file or skin (sandpaper) and open fire. Heat the scissor blades on the fire and cut them out of the disk with a figurine of the desired shape (it's better to draw its contour on the disk with a marker beforehand, so it will be easier). Treat the edges of the figure with a sandpaper or file, make holes and string the workpieces to the thread.

Very nice looking Christmas garlands imitating falling snow. To do this, take a long thin thread andtie shorter threads to it at regular intervals. On the hanging threads, string balls rolled from cotton wool (to make it more convenient, you can use a needle). So that they do not slip, thread must be greased down with glue.

Instead of cotton balls, you can to stick to the vertical parallel threads figurines, cut from a foil, white, multicolored or shiny paper: hearts, snowflakes, stars, sun, moon, etc.etc. To keep the figures better, you need to cut out two identical parts and glue them together, passing the thread between them. They hang such Christmas garlands in a vertical direction, so that they hang from the top of the tree to the bottom.

As you can see, original and beautiful Christmas tree garlands for the holiday can be made from almost any improvised materials - there would be a desire and a fantasy!
