All you need is tape, scissors, string, and some gold paper (or any sturdy paper that strikes your fancy). We imagine you already have most of the supplies at home, so you could start this DIY right now. Madfis notes that she even did some of this crafting while watching Netflix, which means you can finally feel productive while rewatching Love, Actually. The garland couldn't be easier to make and it will look adorable (but, not too adorable) anywhere in your home. You can leave it up year-round, too, if you get really attached. Hang above a mantle, drape over a window, or decorate a bare wall. Feeling extra crafty? Experiment with different color combos, printed papers, or mismatched shapes. You can't get much more festive and fuss-free than this.
