Only a garland of corrugated paper does not need a filament base. It is done very simply and quickly:

2. on each strip on both sides frequent cuts are made with a depth of 2-4 cm;
3. the roll is unwound, and one edge needs to be twisted, and the second should be kept to make a spiral. And now, the elegant fringe garland is ready, it can be hung on a Christmas tree and decorate other objects in the room.

Crafts look original. The use of crepe paper excites imagination, and there are a lot of options for implementation - it can be flashlights, large and small rings, bright multi-colored stripes, chains and geometric shapes (triangles, squares, rhombuses), flowers. Chains can be assembled from:

• rings
• curly elements;
• links of different sizes and shapes.

To create a chain you need to make patterns, then the jewelry will look neat. But the magnificent corrugation shuttlecock will turn out if you string a wide spiral strip on the thread and pick it up.
