How To Make Tissue Paper Tassels
Supplies
- Tissue paper
- Twine
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and sticks (optional)
Instructions
Step One: Unfold
Take one sheet of tissue paper and lay it on a flat surface.
Step Two: Fold horizontally
Fold it in half horizontally.
Step Three: Fold vertically
Fold the paper in half again, this time vertically.
Step Four: Fold and mark
Fold once more vertically. Mark a line two inches from the top of the folded paper. This will be your stopping point.
Step Five: Cut
Cut one inch slits across the tissue paper. Be sure not to cut past the stopping point.
Step Six: Unfold
Unfold the tissue paper.
Step Seven: Cut again
Cut the paper in half.
Step Eight: Roll
Take one of the halves and roll the uncut portion together until you reach the end of the paper.
Step Nine: Twist
Now twist the rolled portion of the tassel.
Step Ten: Bend and twist
Bend the tassel in half and twist the top portion together. If you find that the twist is not staying together, feel free to hot glue it.
Step Eleven: Repeat
Repeat this process with the remaining half. Make as many tassels as your heart desires, string them onto twine and hang them up as décor.
