DIY paper garland tutorial

If you’re anything like me, when the same super creative DIY project keeps filling up my Instagram feed, it also starts toying with my mind: “Make me. Maaaakeeee meeeeeee.”

Enter: DIY paper garland.

That’s how this project began (the same way as most – ha). And take it from me, this one is a cinch! Plus, it can be used in sooooo many great ways that it’s really a no-brainer to try out for yourself – kid’s room decor, birthday party decorations, to jazz up a corner, playroom cuteness, you name it.

It takes very few supplies, and even less skill, so what do you have to lose (besides some time)?

 

MATERIALS NEEDED:

*Full Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links. What that means is that at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase on one of them. I only include links and recommend products that I strongly believe in, and ones that I have personally used and loved. So here’s to spreading the inspo!!!
  1. Cardstock of varying colors
  2. Paper punch
  3. Sewing machine with all-purpose thread
  4. Scissors
  5. Tape or tacks to hang

The main tool you need is a shape puncher. I used circles, but I’m planning on making hearts for Valentine’s Day, and maybe some other shapes (squares are the others I have) just because. I have an old school set that works just okay, so rather than recommend my tools, I’d recommend the ones that I plan on buying when mine bite the dust (the blades are really dull, so I imagine their death is near ;). These are the ones I’ll purchase next, due to the solid reviews, and experience with the Martha Stewart brand in other craft supplies:

Martha Stewart Circle Punch – Extra Large
This is what you’ll end up with:

 

And now all you need to do is sew them together and strategize a super rad way to display them. For the full detailed tutorial, check it out here on the Milwaukee Moms Blog. Or, you can view the picture story below – because let’s face it, some days… reading is hard. Ha. Enjoy!
