DIY: Round Garlands

Few weeks ago, my sister celebrated her birthday and I decorated Yellow Hauz with garlands. After the party, I’ve thought of recycling it in my studio and hanged it just above our perpetual calendar. This is how I did this simple DIY round garlands.

Materials you’ll need:

• Scrap or new cardstocks

• Glue stick

• Twine or Yarn

• Round cutter

• Round punches

• Scissors and Cutting mat

How to do it:

{1}  Place your round cutter in a cardstock. I’m using a japanese brand cutter where you can adjust it to different sizes. Try to cut on the edges first to save some space.

{2} I had some few errors, but you can still use the spaces with small circles.

{3} Always make sure to cut a pair of rounds, because you’ll be using them back to back. Also use round or scallop punches for variations.

{4} If you’re done cutting the circles, placed them on a twine. Try placing them evenly before gluing it together.

{5} Alternate the rounds and scallop shapes and from small to big ones.

Once used in a party, now its hanging pretty in my studio. Practical indeed! Don’t you just love simple DIY‘s? You can also use different shapes with it. The point is, just have fun!

So prepare your printer once again because I know you’ll have fun doing this. If you have a shop, you can also use this on your store front. Use plain or colored paper with nice ribbons with it, and you’re good to go.
