Learn how to turn a few scraps of paper and some twine into a no-sew paper garland that is perfect for any letter board!
I will put a garland on anything that isn’t nailed down. Including my Heidi Swapp letterboard and especially because these garlands are SO easy to make! Just a few scraps of paper and your Xyron Sticker Maker and you are ready to go! {FTC Disclaimer – this post contains affiliate links so I might make a few pennies if you buy something.}
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- patterned paper (I used the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall collection)
- Xyron Sticker Maker
- twine
- trimmer
- scissors

how to make easy no sew paper garland:
Trim paper to desired length and width (length should be about twice width). I wanted a tiny garland so cut the paper to 1.25 x 3. Fold each piece in half and then unfold. Cut twine to desired length.
Run each piece patterned side up through your Xyron Sticker Maker.
Peel paper from backing, place twine in the crease of the paper, and fold over. The paper will adhere to itself. Use your scissors to cut a notch in the paper to create a banner. Repeat until the garland is the desired length.
Even though I made this using fall paper, you could always make this same garland for different seasons and holidays! For instance, this project would be a great way to use up those small scraps that you may have after making holiday cards or certain types of scrapbook layouts.
