Make a Chic Copper Triangle DIY Garland

When it comes to design, I love shapes and patterns that are simple, yet make a statement. I’ve also always adored metallics, which are great for those who want a little “bling” without overdoing it. For this home decor project, I’ll show you how to use foil tape (you read right – foil tape!) to make a chic and simple DIY garland. This project is proof that materials in the scrapbooking aisle can be used in more than one way!

Copper-Triangle-DIY-Garland-DariceCopper Triangle DIY Garland Supplies:

  • Daice Cardstock
  • Paper Hole Punch or Leather Punch (I tested out both; either one can work!)
  • Darice Foil Metallic Tape in Copper *
  • Craft Scissors
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Darice 14mm x 10mm Thick Chain
  • Darice 7mm Copper Jump Rings
  • Darice 3 in 1 Pliers with Cutter

*One package of Darice Foil Copper Metallic Tape makes 1-2 triangles, depending on the size of each triangle. Using my measurements in Step 1, I was able to get 1 1/2 triangles from each package of tape.

Step one. Cut three strips of cardstock measuring 4.5″ x .75″ each. Cut a fourth strip measuring 2 1/2″ x 3/4″. These strips will serve as a sturdy base for the foil tape.

Note: Starting with strips that are wider than the tape will be more forgiving in terms of trimming the cardstock. It’s easy to trim the shorter ends with a quick, straight snip – but doing so length wise is usually more difficult by hand. Of course, if you have a paper trimmer, you can also cut strips that measure exactly 4.5″ x .59″ (the exact width of the tape is .59″).

Copper-Triangle-DIY-Garland-Darice-02Step two. Place a strip of foil tape on one of the cardstock strips. The tape is very flexible and sticky, so here’s a tip: press down the tape at one end, and slowly peel away the backing, pressing and guiding as you move along.

Copper-Triangle-DIY-Garland-Darice-06Step three. Trim away the excess cardstock.

Copper-Triangle-DIY-Garland-Darice-07Step four. Repeat with the remaining strips.

Step five. Hot glue the three 4.5″ strips together to form a triangle.

Copper-Triangle-DIY-Garland-Darice-09Step six. Glue the shorter strip to the center of the triangle.

Step seven. Trim the corners to neaten them up.

Copper-Triangle-DIY-Garland-Darice-14Step eight. Punch a hole in one corner of the triangle. A paper punch will work fine, but a leather punch might be useful if your cardstock happens to be super thick.

Step nine. Punch another hole in the adjacent corner.

Step ten. Repeat Steps 1-9 until you have the number of triangles desired for your DIY garland.

Step eleven. Connect the triangles together with jump rings. 

Copper-Triangle-DIY-Garland-Darice-16Step twelve. Attach a strand of chain to each end.
