-pencil;

How to make a garland?
1. Corrugated paper is great for creating garlands, since it is much stronger due to its special texture, but any other colored paper will also work. Even if it happens that it breaks, you can easily seal the damaged fragment with glue or tape.
2.Next, bend the paper like an accordion.
3. Having decided on the design, decide for yourself what size it will be.
4.Apply the design. You can do this using a template or simply by hand. The drawing should be of such a size that its edges rest against the folds of the paper. Plus, think about the compositional moment. In our case, the snowmen will hold on to their handles, and the stars will be connected by rays. Although if the flowers, for example, just stretch out in a line, it will also be quite nice.
5.Cut out the design, taking into account that there is no need to cut the places where the figures will be connected. That is, the folds of the paper should remain intact.
6.Unfold and see your garland. To make it even more interesting, add some details. So we drew faces for the stars and snowmen and they immediately became more cheerful.
If the garland turns out to be too short, you can repeat all the steps again, and then connect two (three, four) links with glue, tape or a stapler.
Since this decoration is very easy to make, involve your child in the work.Just imagine how nice it will be for him to then see his creation on the Christmas tree or somewhere else, and tell his friends that he took part in such an important matter - this is generally a reason for pride!
Such a garland can be hung under the ceiling, on cornices and doors, or used as an original curtain holder.
Try it and you will definitely succeed!
