garland making?

**Andie78** · July 22nd, 2014, 12:00 AM

having a small get together for my little one's first birthday & wanted to make a few paper garlands. I am not crafty at all. looks like you can make these with glue & some string though, so I think ill manage?! does anyone know where I could buy a circle cutter? reading online it looks like these would make the job easier.

also, if you have made them before - any useful tips would be appreciated.

Spotlight would have all the materials you need to make them. Or you could just opt for the triangle bunting? Might be easier?

If you know anyone who scrapbooks, ask if you can borrow a circle cutter.

Yep. Spotlight will have them. Or kmart and big w usually has a small scrapbooking section as well.

Enjoy!

could you use patty pan cases flattened out rather than having to cut circles?

thanks ladies. Got paper but circle cutters were all just one size & I want 8 different sized circles. I bought cookie cutters & will just draw around them & cut them by hand. now I just need to find time to cut them... should've just bought some... :-/

Oh that sounds like a big job!

yeah... kinda underestimated the time/effort... will let you know how I go.

well, garland looked really good. I delegated the circle cutting to my sister 1-1.5 hours...), the sewing to my mum & it was done before I knew it... ; )
