Christmas Garland and Ornaments

A Christmas garland of balls decorates the tree, the window, or the wall of a room. It is easily made with decorative supports. This category brings together garlands and ornaments to personalize for the tree and the home.

Decorative Ornaments

Plastic ornaments are adorned with small elements. They come in the shape of balls, Santa Claus, reindeer, boots, or stars. They are decorated with glitter to make them sparkle. Engraved wooden ornaments give a more natural style. Adhesive card animals, like pom-pom bears, entertain the little ones.

Garlands for the Whole House

Metallic garlands and garlands shaped like fir branches decorate a wall, a staircase, or a door. Illuminated reindeer and snowmen brighten up the tree in the evening. A few balls lined up on a string form a very simple garland. Children can make it in one session.

Making Your Garland

First, choose the ornaments or balls. Decorate them with paint, stickers, or glitter. Let them dry well. Then thread them onto a string, cord, or twine, keeping a regular space. A simple knot at each end is enough to hang it.

For a richer effect, alternate shapes and colors. Red, white, and gold create a classic garland. Bright colors give a more cheerful look.

A Workshop for the Tree

The garland is a beautiful collective activity. Each child decorates one or two ornaments. They are then gathered on the same string. The result is a large common decoration that can be hung in class or at home. Some kits already offer characters to hang, like mischievous elves.

To save time, prepare the strings in advance. Measure the desired length, then cut a little longer. Each child threads their ornaments in the order they prefer. On the last day, everyone hangs the garland together and admires the result.
