Summer Garland

Hey guys! It's the Wonderlandiful Crafter, back again with the first wonderlandiful DIY of 2016! I'll be showing you how to make a super cute, summer-inspired garland you can hang in your room, use for a party, or really do anything with!

First, you'll need to go on Google images (or your favorite image website/source), and find some images to use for your garland. You can really make this for any occasion, like for holidays or birthdays, but I'm making a summer inspired garland with pineapples, watermelons, palm trees, and emojis with sunglasses!



After saving some images to your desktop, print them out. You can mess with the sizing (the little percentage thing) to get the size you want for your image.


After you print out your desired amount of images, cut them out. You may have to print out several of the same images to cut out, because every piece has to be cut out of the card stock later.


Now that you have cut out all of the pieces, flip them over, and trace onto card stock, or construction paper, like this:

You will also have to trace each piece the number of times you would like them to be on your garland.


Cut out all of your pieces, and glue together. Then hang them on a string with clothespins! You can also glue them to the string if you would like. And your done!




This project is very fun, and you can hang your garland anywhere. I hung mine over the curtains in my room!

Please note that this project is quite time consuming, especially if you use complicated images or make a lot of pieces for your garland. You can also cut out images using a Cricket or Silhouette cutting machine if you would not like to cut out all of the pieces by hand. ;)

I hope you enjoyed this project!
Sincerely,
The Wonderlandiful Crafter
