To make beautiful Christmas garlands, you can use double sided bright paper ( one side gold , the other side either blue or red ) . Or more modestly  you can use other double sided colored paper.
It is necessary to cut strips and to have one  or several staplers .

The garland “chain”

Form a circle whith the first strip and staple it ; pass the second strip through the first, make a circle and staple it ....and so on .

 

On the left, the circles are glued to each other.

A rigid paper will make  a decoration like the one exposed on the left; you can hang it on.

With crêpon paper,you can make a garland.
