For the New Year holidays, it is much more pleasant to decorate the house with hand-made crafts, because a piece of the soul is embedded in them. Joint creativity with children will create a New Year mood in the house much better than the usual purchases of Christmas tree decorations. For such activities, it is worth choosing the simplest and most effective crafts, for example, just such a Christmas garland made of felt in a rustic style.
several sheets of thick felt, thin colored lace (woolen threads, narrow satin ribbons are also suitable), linen rope or cotton cord, narrow patterned braid or small squares of fabric, wooden beads, artificial spruce or pine twigs, artificial bunches of mountain ash or other berries, wooden clothespins.
1. Make patterns for garland pendants - cut out several five-pointed stars of different sizes, circles, and other geometric shapes from cardboard. If you have a thick enough felt and a sharp knife (dummy), you can try more complex shapes, such as the one in the photo in the middle.
2. Use a thick needle to pull a piece of lace (ribbon, woolen thread) through the top of each felt. Put a wooden bead on the thread folded in half, then tie the ends of the thread into a knot.
wooden beads and clothespins can be painted with oil paint or nail polish to match the garland, or left as is.
3. Attach each hanger to a common rope with a wooden clothespin.
4. Complete the garland with ribbons or plaid bows, small artificial spruce twigs and bunches of berries. You can also use large beads, small Christmas tree decorations, other decor to your liking. The New Year felt garland is ready!
