Create a simple garland for the holiday season with this Good Thing from Hannah Milman, executive editorial director of crafts at Martha Stewart Living.

Tools and Materials

• Tinsel garland cut to three equal lengths: two in silver and one in red (or any two colors)
• String of holiday lights

Tinsel Light Garland How-To
1. Wrap length of silver tinsel around string of lights.

2. Hold ends of other length of silver tinsel and red tinsel together in one hand, and lighted silver tinsel in the other. Anchor the opposite ends to a doorknob or staircase, or have a friend hold the other ends. Make the garlands even, and then bring all three ends together. Twist to spiral the tinsel around itself.
