How To Make A Paper Angel Christmas Garland

It's hard to imagine Christmas today without crackers, gifts and a tree. Yet, at the start of the 19th century, Christmas was barely celebrated. It wasn't until the late 1840s that many of the trappings we now associate with the festive season were popularised by Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, and decorating your home at Christmas (often with homemade adornments) became fashionable.

There's no better way to create some festive cheer than by making a pretty Christmas garland. Follow our simple guide and you'll be able to create an angel garland to decorate your mantelpiece or Christmas tree, in much the same way that people in Victorian Britain would have done. Merry Christmas!
