Put a Ring on It

Paper-chain garlands are a favorite old-fashioned DIY decoration that dates back to grammarsch­ool crafting days, but you can give the idea a sophistica­ted update by using glittery filigree ribbon. Cut an equal number of red and silver ribbon pieces, each about 12" long. Fold over one red ribbon piece to create a loop, overlappin­g the end by about 1/4" to 1/2" while matching up the filigree pattern. Hot glue the ribbon together. Run a silver ribbon piece through the red loop, overlap the ends to line up the filigree pattern, and glue in place. Continue adding on ribbon loops in alternatin­g colors until you reach your desired length. Accent the lacy rings with a few shimmering red bows.
