Spotted these paper garlands on hege greenall-scholtz's blog. she did all the window designs and made the paper garland for grasse's windows (a store in the UK). i don't have a sewing machine*, but i would love to get one to make pretty garland like this. would look great in a house that is using natural colors for christmas. oh, and i'm always a sucker for simple white wrapping paper or brown kraft paper tied with string. *side note: heard directly from hege greenall-scholtz and she said that the garland's are easy to make with a circle hole-punch. if you don't have a sewing machine, you could always use double sided tape and stick two circles together on either side of string. or double over so it makes half circles. thanks so much for the great ideas, hege!!

These are the (much pricier) inspiration: (Tutorial after the jump) Start with a page from an old magazine Start folding the page at about a quarter inch thickness until it has a little bulk to it.
Glue the edge and cut off the remaining page. Continue making strips and rolling them until you reach your desired diameter for your box. Make sure it doesn’t get away. Roll a strip that is about an inch thick (or whatever works best for your box). Here’s what the inside looks like. Make another roll for the bottom. Another view. Enjoy! Like this: Like Loading...
