Recycle!
I used to make accordion-style garland during study hall with strips of notebook paper. Well, it wasn’t so much garland as it was tons of little eleven inch pieces of it littering my desk by the time the bell rang. (Don’t worry, I finally got my academic act together in time for college.) So my tree garland last year was a no-brainer since accordion paper garland is a cinch to make. Here is how to make easy paper garland from a recycled dictionary.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Cut or rip book pages into strips. I ripped each page down he middle and then ripped each half down the middle again to achieve the width I desired.
-
Step 2Tape or glue the first two strips to each other with the ends perpendicular.
-
Step 3Fold one strip over the other and repeat with the second strip. Do this until you run out of paper and then tape additional strips end-to-end to lengthen your garland.
-
Step 4Your garland will look like this. The thickness will depend on the length. You can do all your garland in one go or work in sections and attach them later.
-
Step 5When you've finished with your garland or garland section, open it up to reveal the accordion look.
-
Step 6Wrap your garland around the tree...or window...or mantel, etc.
-
Step 7Enjoy. :)
