DIY Tissue Paper Tassels
So you're throwing a party and you need some inexpensive, yet bold party decor. Look no further than the tissue paper tassel garland. It doesn't get cuter...have you seen the fringe?
When picking out your tassel colors, go with at least 2 coodinating patterns and 3-5 solid colors. Don't be afraid to mix stripes and polka dots! Have fun and let your creativity flow.
I've made these tassels for St. Patrick's Day, a "Great To Be 8" Baptism Preview for church, and multiple birthday parties. They go with everything!

- Fold your tissue paper in half, then in half again so you have a perfect square. (I use 20" x 20" paper, so it measured 10" x 10" after folding)
- Cut strips up the 10''x10'' square, leaving 1 1/2" at the top uncut
- Unfold the tassel so it's 10" x 20"
- Begin rolling the tissue paper along your uncut top border
- Pull up two sets of tissue strips out of the roll (this will be the piece that you'll thread the string or ribbon through.)
- Next, hold the two strips along the border you are rolling with your right hand. Twist the strips with your left handwith your left hand until they make a tight little rope.
- Fold the new rop down to create a loop
- Now tape a piece of scotch tape to secure the loop in place
- Next, continue rolling along the border, even further securing the loop in place
- Aftter the tassel has been rolled, secure the last roll in place with a piece of scotch tape
- Fluff the tassel and you're done!!
- Thread string through the loops of all of your tissue paper tassels and hang. it. up.
