This is a guest post from the lovely Anna of Much Love. Her blog is one of my daily haunts - heaps of pretty giveaways, beautiful photos and cute ideas. Do stop by!
One of the easiest ways to decorate a room for the festive season is with paper garlands. All you need is some paper and string, and you're good to go. There's no need to go out and buy anything fancy either, why not be kind to the environment and reuse what you already have?
Things like old magazine pages, wrapping paper, envelopes can become the loveliest decorations. Put them on your Christmas tree, in the living room, or just string them above your bed to add a dash of festivity any time of the year. Here are some of my favourite paper garlands, that may inspire you to make your own.

Vintage maps make charming crafts. Cut up some old maps(NOT the ones you'll be needing for your next road trip!)
into cute shapes – like these traveling birdies.

I really need to make my room a bit more festive, think I'll have a go at something like this now.
Every year for Christmas I find myself making paper chains. Usually red and white, sometimes with glitter. I put them anywhere I can think of, and it makes me feel like a little kid.
