Equipment

  • Nails or command hooks (for securing the garland)
  • Scissors or rotary cutter
  • Clear tape, washi tape, or glue

Ingredients

  • Tissue paper various colors
  • String or thin ribbon for hanging

Instructions

  • Measure & Cut:
    Measure the space where you plan to hang the garland. Cut a piece of string or ribbon to fit this space.

    Iron the Tissue Paper:
    Gently iron each sheet of tissue paper on the lowest setting to remove any creases. Fold each sheet in half and iron along the fold line.

    Assemble the Garland:

    Fold one edge of a tissue paper sheet over by 1/2 inch.
    Place the string or ribbon under the folded edge and secure it with a piece of tape.
    Continue adding tissue paper sheets, alternating colors as desired, until the string is full.
    Create the Fringe:
    Cut the bottom of each tissue paper section into strips about 1/4 inch wide, just below the fold, to create the fringe effect.

    Hang the Garland:
    Flip the garland so the taped side is facing the wall. Use nails or command hooks to pin it in place.

Notes

Use longer sheets of tissue paper for more dramatic tassels.
Arrange tissue paper in a specific color order to match your party theme.
Add washi tape or thin ribbon loops to each tassel for added flair.
