If you’re home is looking a little bare after taking down the Christmas decorations then why not make yourself a moon and stars garland to cheer things up a bit? You could even make use of any shiny packaging and ribbons left over from Christmas.
You will need:
- Card: we used metallic card but you might have some nice bits and pieces saved from Christmas packaging you could use
- Ribbon (a piece as long as you want your garland, ours is around 2 metres)
- Templates (you can use ours or use a small bowl/roll of tape to make your own)
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Hole punch
Step 1.
On the back of your card draw out your templates. Use the bowl/roll of tape to make a full moon and two crescent moons. You’ll also need to draw four stars. Cut them out carefully using the scissors.
Alternatively, you can use our templates! Print them out and either glue onto the back of the card and cut them out or print them out, cut them out and draw around them onto the card.
Step 2.
On the right side of the card (the shiny side) add some details to the moons and stars using a pencil. The aim is to make indentations more than anything so a blunt pencil works best. You could add faces, patterns or different textures.
Step 3.
Use the hole punch to make a hole in the top of each card piece.
Step 4.
Thread the moons and stars onto the ribbon, think about what order you would like them in.
Step 5.
Hang up your garland and admire your hard work!
Have fun and don’t forget to show us how you get on!
