D.I.Y. Tissue Paper Tassel Garland {a Tutorial}

In preparation for Vera's First Birthday I made this Tassel Banner inspired by Tomkat Studio.

You'll need 10-20 sheets of tissue paper cut in half to create 20-40 working sheets {your choice for how full you want your tassel or for varying lengths}

White glue {such as elmer's}

Sharp scissors

Ribbon, string, or hanging thread.

Once the sheets have been halfed into the working sheet, fold in half and cut up both sides leaving a few inches on the top as pictured above.

Open cut sheet and begin to roll the paper.

Here's  video to see what I mean.

Once rolled you will twist.

See video to see where to add a drop of glue once twisting.

All it takes is a DROP of glue to hold the paper in it's twisted form.

Use your finger to hold the space for the stinging hole, once the glue dries {almost instantly} add to string.

Hang.

Hope that helps explain how easy this project is!  It does take a bit of time to roll and twist so don't feel bad if you'd rather purchase one off etsy.
