Try decorating your home or apartment with these beautiful multi-colored garlands, which are made from multi-colored felt. Such homemade decorative elements for the New Year holidays are not only beautiful, but also practical.
A homemade felt garland can be stored perfectly, which means it can decorate your home for more than one holiday. Agree, this cannot but rejoice, because, for example, a paper garland is more likely to be considered a disposable decoration than a practical one.
New Year is always a holiday that we associate with bright flowers, New Year trees, snowflakes, snowmen, etc. It is these associations that we propose to use in making New Year’s garlands from felt.
The news portal “Vtemu.by” in this article has prepared for you several original options for making New Year’s garlands from felt. So, which one will you choose?!
DIY felt garland
To create such a rainbow voluminous felt garland, you will need multi-colored strips of felt of the same size and a hot glue gun.
If you don’t want or don’t have the opportunity to use glue in your work, you can attach the parts of the garland to each other using a needle and thread. The garland will turn out no worse, the only thing is that it will take more time to make it.
So, take the first strip of felt and roll it into a circle. Secure the edges with glue.
Now thread the second strip into the resulting circle and secure with glue. In this way, continue to increase the size of the felt garland.
You should end up with a long multi-colored chain.
To create such a garland, you can use felt of the same shade; it all depends on your mood and the overall interior design.
Christmas trees for table setting

Job
- Cut circles out of cardboard, roll them into cones and secure with glue. These will be the grounds.

- Make a cross-shaped cut in the center of each circle - the larger the circle, the larger the cut.
- Place the felt circles onto the cone, starting with the largest one.
- Roll the very last one into a cone and secure it to the top with glue.

This version of the garland is especially suitable for those who have a large number of small pieces of felt. To work, you will need thin multi-colored strips of felt (15 cm x 2 cm) and thick rope.
Tie cut multi-colored strips of felt onto a rope into knots. The more stripes you tie, the more voluminous and elegant the garland will be.

Necessary materials
- 13 felt circles - I used 6 navy, 3 tan, 2 turquoise and 2 beige;
- 6 gold beads;
- floss thread and needle;
- long chain;
- two small rings;
- carabiner;
- scissors;
- pliers.
Step 1
Cut out circles using a small glass mold as a template
Cut out the circles. I used a small glass mold as a template and found it impossible to cut out a perfect circle with scissors. Luckily, when you fold them, the shape will hide imperfections beautifully. So don't worry.
Step 2
The dark blue circle should cover part of the other two circles
Connect 3 circles and fold them. Make sure the dark blue circle covers part of the other two circles.
Step 3
Thread the floss into the needle. Pass the needle through the back of the middle of the design and insert the ball.
Step 4
Decorate your necklace with beads
Return the needle to the wrong side - making sure all three circles are secured with thread - and knot the thread. You should end up with a design like the one in the picture. Continue manipulating the next circles and repeat the entire process.
Step 5
Measure the length of chain you need and cut it with scissors
Slide the small ring into the corner of the last circle. Repeat on the other side. Measure the length of chain you need and cut it with scissors. If the chain is not long enough, cut it in the middle and attach a lobster clasp.
Felt star garland
Felt garlands of various geometric shapes look very elegant and beautiful. For example, a garland of small multi-colored stars. To work, you will need to use a star stencil, according to which you should cut out stars from felt. Sew the finished stars on a machine, connecting them together into a single long garland.
You can also make three-dimensional stars by connecting two stars together and filling them with cotton wool.
