Lady strings 50 shiny plastic coins onto green twine. This living room idea is magic!

Creating a DIY coin garland is an easy and delightful craft project that can add a touch of sparkle and whimsy to your living room. This shimmering garland, made by stringing shiny plastic coins onto green twine, can be a magical addition to your home decor. Perfect for festive occasions or as a permanent fixture, this garland is sure to catch the eye and inspire conversation.

Hang the coin garland across a mantle, around a window frame, or drape it along a bookshelf to add a playful yet elegant touch to your living space. Complement the garland's shiny coins with other metallic accents, such as gold or silver candle holders or picture frames. Pair with lush indoor plants or neutral-toned decor to create a balanced and inviting atmosphere.

50 shiny plastic coins

Cut a length of green twine approximately 10 feet long.

Take a shiny plastic coin and thread the twine through a small hole near its edge. If the coins do not have holes, use a small drill to create them.

Slide the coin to the middle of the twine and tie a knot to secure its position.

Repeat the process with each coin, spacing them evenly along the twine. Aim for a uniform distance between each coin, such as 2 inches apart.

Once all 50 coins are strung and spaced to your liking, tie knots at both ends of the twine to prevent the coins from sliding off.

Hang your coin garland using tape or small hooks, ensuring it is securely fastened and draped to your desired shape.

For a personalized touch, consider using coins in different colors, such as gold, silver, or bronze, to match your decor theme. You can also add beads or small bells between the coins to create a unique texture and sound. If you prefer a different color scheme, swap out the green twine for a color that better matches your interior design. Another variation could involve using larger or smaller coins to adjust the garland's scale and impact.
