diy simple gold triangle garland
in my opinion, there’s a fine line between tacky and modern when it comes to christmas decorating. so i always err on the simple side. shocker. so here is a VERY simple and of course, very easy diy decoration you can make in a few minutes!
all you need is a large piece of gold scrapbook paper (or two depending on how long you’d like it). i attached the triangles with scotch tape, but you could glue also.
cut out a zillion triangles from your paper. this is the boring part, but i did it while i watched netflix.
tape your piece of string on one side of a long table, tighten the string and tape the other side down. slide your triangles under the string and tape! i did it in a 2 x 3 pattern, but there are obviously a bunch of variating patterns you could try. they kind of look like modern little christmas trees right?!
and duh – that’s it! hang across your mantle, over a door frame or just along your wall for a little touch of festive decor.
Love love love! Simple and festive – wonderful DIY!
Pretty!

this is super cute! i think i might make multiples to drape across un-curtained windows!
This is so beautiful! I love it!
Hey! Trying to make this now but I can’t get the triangles to all face the same direction when it’s hanging. They just flip and turn all around. Do you have any tips to keep this from happening?
Ok, so when my boss found out that I cut all those triangles by hand he actually asked me, “…what’s wrong with you??” But I feel it was totally worth it. Thanks for the super cute idea!
Oh I just made this in navy and bright blue for a bday mantle garland for my husband tomorrow! Yay! Thank you! It will then go in my son’s room! BONUS!

Such a pretty design with the triangles grouped together in a set of three like that. Why do I love DIY garland so much?
