Garlands in the form of an accordion have a special appearance; they attract attention and enhance the feeling of the holiday. To create them, just stock up on colored paper of various shades, cut into identical strips.

Each of them must be connected at the beginning and end, using glue or a stapler, to form a circle. Finally, the circles are strung like an accordion on a thread or ribbon and placed in any suitable place in the room or on the tree.

Glowing inscription
An ordinary LED garland can be turned into a spectacular “Happy New Year” inscription if you follow the step-by-step instructions:
- Prepare 2 garlands - they should be as long as possible so that the inscription is not interrupted.
- Put an inscription on whatman paper or the back of a piece of old wallpaper - use a simple pencil for this purpose. It is better to choose a font not printed, but capitalized.
- When bending the garland, repeat the outlined contours of the inscription, fixing the wires with transparent tape. Place both garlands so that the first fork is on the first letter of the inscription, and the second fork is on the last.
- Decorate whatman paper with pieces of foil, paper snowflakes, sparkles, and hang small Christmas tree decorations.
The same idea can be implemented not on whatman paper, but directly on wallpaper or window glass. Just keep in mind that marks may remain on the wallpaper after the garland is dismantled. You will also need to consider the location of electrical outlets or the use of a rectifier to connect the glowing device. It is important to choose an LED garland, since it practically does not heat up and has a low fire hazard.

Gypsum
It's easier to work with plaster. And in order to cast letters from this material, you can make a mold that anyone can handle.
To do this, you will need cardboard and wide tape that is used to glue the inside of the form. Then you need to dilute the plaster with water in the proportions indicated on the package. After this, fill out the form and wait for the workpiece to dry completely.
When working with plaster, remember to protect your clothing and body by wearing an apron and gloves. You can simply remove dried letters from the mold by cutting them, and sandpaper will help you get them perfect.
Photos with such letters at a wedding can be taken outdoors in any weather conditions. Neither rain nor snow will spoil them.
