Christmas Garland

[Merry Christmas Darling]

The most common garland is probably tinsel garland:

We used to make paper chains at school and they seem to be rising in popularity:

Some people want to be more creative:

I like beaded garland(these are two of my trees):

One year I did this:

And this is what I call tinsel:

I have never cared much for the tinsel garland; at least not on a tree. I prefer beads (I use clear/opaque ones) and/or tinsel. and I still use bows, usually winter white. I used to use all red bows, and way back when, I used alternating red and pink/white checkered bows, but no beads. also back then, we made popcorn garland, 3 strings, for garland

Merry, I always love your trees and decorations. you are so creative.

I usually have the tinsel for the tree and when i was little we would have paper chains around the room. It would be our first sign to put decorations up when my Dad would walk in and put them in front of me and my brother

When you say "tinsel" in the UK, does it mean the stuff in my first photo?

Thanks, now that I don't have my seven-foot tree, I don't seem to have any good ideas.

One year, when our dog was a puppy actually, I had made a garland with pop corn, it was really impressing!!
Unfortunately, when we went to sleep, my dog ate the popcorn...

LOL...my oldest daughter put gingerbread cookies on her tree and her dog ate them!!!

[tlazer]

If It would come out nice I would use it. But its always crooked : (

When I was fist married, we used tinsel. When the kids were young we used red garland (tinsel garland). In the last few years, I have used silver bead garland situated between white tinsel garland

hey, tlazer, it's great to see you back!! and, as far as being crooked, I have been known to take everything off and redo it more than once. lol

hahaha, I would so much like to see what our dog were doing while we're not home, or sleeping..:santa:
Remember when my dog (puppy, only 3 months old) had eaten most of my nativity scene, under the tree?? I had found him in the morning sleeping in the nativity scene, exhausted, with half of Jesus on his mouth..

[angelpugs2]

very pretty I use garland on my trees around the house on the outside of course with lights can't use tinsel with the dogs.:santa2:

[ChantelleJoy]

We always had multicoloured Tinsel Garland on my trees growing up - nowadays I use Beads on one of my trees and JUST BOUGHT (this year) a new batch of (super-reflective)silver Tinsel-Garland for our main tree.

For larger trees, I've OFTEN seen people use Ribbon:

This year I am also using ribbon as garland on my doll tree

Oh, I bet Ribbon will go really well with the Doll Theme!!!

[MinnesotaMike]

We always use gold tinsel garland on our tree. Since we use an artificial tree, tinsel is a big "no-no". We also use natural pine garland (with pine cones) that we put up around the tops of our kitchen cabinets. We also display all our Christmas cookie jars up behind the garland.

Yes - it fits nicely on the tree. I am second guessing my color choice though. The ribbon, topper and accent ornaments are purple - which I love - but think red would look better with the doll ornaments
