With the arrival of the long-awaited spring, everything around us gradually begins to transform. The kindergarten also needs bright spring floral decorations.
In this article, we have prepared for you some of the most successful and easy-to-make flower garlands that you can use to decorate a group in a kindergarten, as well as decorate a school classroom, assembly hall, etc.
How to make a flower garland with your own hands?
The brightest and truly elegant, and most importantly in a children's style, flower garlands can be considered those in which the components are large multi-colored flowers that can be cut out of double-sided colored paper, cardboard, foamiran and even felt.
If each family brings at least five flowers made with their own hands using this technique, then making a very elegant flower garland from these flowers will not be difficult.
Use green satin ribbons as a base.
The flowers can be glued to the ribbon, or they can be sewn on for security.
Experiment with flower color and shape.
Ready-made flower garlands will look great on walls, suspended from the ceiling, as well as on windows and the backdrop of a stage.

- You can use waxed dental floss for the lei - it is stronger than regular floss.
- If you don’t have fresh flowers or it’s impractical to use them for some reason, you can make artificial leis.
- If you are asked to wear a lei, do not refuse. This is considered impolite and disrespectful.
- Once you wear a flower lei, never throw it in the trash! Instead, leave it somewhere in nature - let what grew on the earth return to the earth. Be sure
to cut the thread so that no animal gets entangled in it. - Hawaiian tradition requires guests to throw their leis into the ocean upon leaving the islands. If your garland washes up on the shore, it means that someday you will return to Hawaii again.
- Plumeria leis usually last for about two days.
- In Hawaii, the following types of flowers are traditionally used for lei (for the most curious, we even give their Hawaiian names in parentheses): mock orange, in Russia often called jasmine (walahe'e haole), white ginger ('awapuhi ke'oke'o), hibiscus , which is the emblem of the state of Hawaii ('ilima), bougainvillea (kepalo), gardenia (kiele), tuberose (kupalo), rose (loke), stephanotis (male), delonix ('ohai ali'i), orchid ('okika), Arabian jasmine (pikake) and the most famous flower for lei - plumeria (melia).
- Different types of flowers are strung in different ways: in one case the thread passes through the middle of the flower, in another - under the flower, through its peduncle. In addition to this, there are other options, but the method described in our article is the simplest and most popular.

DIY flower electric garland
A very unexpected and interesting version of a flower garland that little children will really like.

This flower garland looks very theatrical and unusual.
for the new year
Making Christmas garlands is fun and exciting! To make a beautiful and original garland you will need small candle lamps, narrow tinsel and a couple of jars of paint - special for glass or regular acrylic. The light bulbs are dipped one at a time in paint and dried on a cardboard stand (the bases can be wrapped in cling film to prevent them from getting dirty). Then the light bulbs are glued to the tinsel in a chaotic manner, and the unusual Christmas tree garland is ready!
Making another Christmas tree garland is also not too difficult - the main thing is to stock up on a template. For printing, you can use colored paper at once, or you can make one general template and copy it onto paper of any color. Printed or redrawn templates must be cut as shown in the diagram and strung on bright twine.

A garland made of felt balls looks very cozy and very Christmas-like. You can do it together with your child - you just need help. In order to make such an interior decoration, you will need felt balls. No, not even that - A LOT of felt balls.
Making them is quite simple - take some wool for felting in your palm, wet it under the tap, and then lightly roll it into a ball. Add foam or soap and continue rolling. When the ball starts to form, you need to apply a little effort.
If the wool is acting up, try changing the water temperature several times - after a couple of changes from cold to hot water and back, the fibers begin to fall off. The future ball must be thoroughly rinsed from soap. The ball is ready when it becomes hard.
Make a lot of these balls - they can be the same color (then it is better to take a contrasting thread for stringing) or different shades, and then just string them on a thread and a needle, and your cozy winter decor is ready. By the way, you can decorate a Christmas wreath on a door or a New Year tree with these balls.
