Wichman Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 In the Winter 1999 edition of Creative Woodworks and Crafts Wood Ornaments there is a pattern and instructions for a scroll saw garland. For those of you that use garland on your trees, how many feet do you use? If you were making this, would you break the chain into multiple segments or just have one long chain? The segments: JackJones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb.j.enders Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Neat idea. Does the link slide into the decorative part. If so, I would just make a bunch of each and put together each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Fengstad Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Tough question not sure if I would consider making a garland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Moreton Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 (edited) I would get a garland out of the Christmas box and decide from that. Also, do you want it to go around all the way from top to bottom? That’s just how I would figure it out. Also be sure to ask the person IN CHARGE of decorations!

If so, I would just make a bunch of each and put together each year. In the picture, the decorative piece is cut on the left side. After cutting the pieces, they are soaked in hot water for a few minutes. The cut piece is then gently pried open and two small links inserted, once dry the links are glued shut. Rinse and repeat untill you get the length you want. Eight links is about three feet. This is a time consuming project (that's a good thing). I calculated about twenty hours (stack cutting four at a time), to make enough for one tree (estimate based on Google search). That's why I'm asking?

FrankEV Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 (edited) To encircle our 7' fake, kinda narrow cone shape, tree I use two lengths (6' each) of sllver tincle type Garland tied together. The 12 feet just makes it around 5 times. I suspect, with the rigid sections of a scrolled Garland, and based on the typical size tree you put up, the length needed will to be longer than the 12' I use.
