From the options below, you can easily choose the ones that are right for you.

Of course, we are not talking about projectiles for lawn tennis, but about light ping-pong balls. In each of them, with a sharp knife, carefully make a small incision, into which insert the light bulb of an ordinary electric garland. If you color the celluloid balls, it will turn out even more unusual.

The recipe is similar to the previous one, only instead of table tennis equipment, small cardboard coffee cups are used. They can also be painted or pasted with bright paper or threads, which will make your improvised garland even more beautiful.

If you do not need a light, then you can make a garland from paper or cardboard "light bulbs". To do this, it is enough to make strips of colored paper, which you just need to carefully bend, stylize them as light sources, make a "cartridge" and put them together on one thread.

The origami technique will come to the rescue if you want to make an unusual paper garland — with your own hands, showing perseverance, you can easily turn pieces of paper into a stylish decoration for your home.

One of the most unusual decoration options, both in terms of the material used and the overall effect of the decor. The usual cardboard packaging for eggs should be cut into separate cells and either simply color them and use them on their own, or use them as lampshades for electric lights.

Another creative way to make a voluminous garland is to decorate matchboxes with colored tissue paper, use twine or fabric ribbons to style the resulting items as gift packages and tie them together into a garland.

Fallen cones will be an excellent preparation for an unusual garland. It is enough to decorate the scales of the cones with white or any other paint, or you can paint the cones entirely and then combine the thread into a garland.

Not the most predictable material for creating garlands, but therefore no less spectacular-take curly pasta, color them and tie them together with a long thread. If desired, the gaps between the shaped pasta in the bundle can be filled with colored pasta tubes — it will turn out even more interesting.

To turn an ordinary woolen thread into bright pompoms is an ornament in itself. Well, if you make such pom-poms colorful and combine them into one garland, you will get a bright and warm decor for a home holiday.

If you have a sufficient number of ready-made cookies on hand or you are not too lazy to bake it yourself, then sweets can be used as the basis for an edible garland. Cookies can be used as a base for a garland by themselves, or they can be supplemented with any other decor to suit your taste.
