DIY SCROLL Garland

-

Add a touch of whimsy to your décor this Christmas with a

scroll garland.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• Book pages or 8 ½" x 11" paper • Tape

• Ribbon of your choice (look for Christmas colors or patterns such as plaid or polka dot)

• Hot glue gun

• Scissors

• Twine

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

1. Gather your pages in one place. If you’re using full-sized letter paper, cut the pages in half widthwise so they’re about the size of a book page.

2. Roll up each page and tape or glue it so it stays rolled.

3. Cut a piece of ribbon and tie it around the sheet of paper (don’t worry about getting a perfect bow). Use hot glue to keep it in place.

4. Cut another piece of ribbon and tie it into a bow; then glue the bow onto the front of the ribbon. This will give you the perfect bow look. You can leave some scrolls without a bow to vary the look.

5. Use the tip of one scissor blade to gently poke a hole through the scroll on each side.

6. Tie a large knot on one end of the twine; then thread it through the scrolls, alternatin­g the scrolls with ribbon and those without.

7. Tie a knot in the other end of the twine, and hang the garland along with your other Christmas décor.
