Tissue Tassel Garland

I’m sharing an easy tutorial for tissue tassel garland.

I’ve been wanting to make a tassel garland for a while now, and I decided New Year’s was the perfect time to display it.

The tassel garland isn’t hard – it’s just a little time-consuming.  I sat and made my garland while the kids were watching a Christmas movie.

For this tutorial, you’ll need tissue paper, a glue gun, and scissors.

Start by unfolding one piece of tissue paper and laying it flat.  Next, fold the paper in half – lengthwise.

Fold it again – this time widthwise.

Keep folding – fold it lengthwise.

Last fold!  Fold it widthwise.

Now it’s time to cut the tassels.  The top should be made completely of folds – so it all stays together.  Cut strips up the folded tissue and leave several inches at the top.

After you have cut the tassels, open up the piece like this:

Cut it down the center.

Now open the piece up like this:

Roll it.

And you’ll see you’re close!  Then twist it down the center.

And a drop of hot glue at on end of the twist.

Make a loop and attach it to the glue.

Some of the ends will be connected, so you’ll want to give the tassels a little trim.

And you’ve made a tassel!  (Each piece of tissue paper makes four tassels.)

You can make them in lots of colors…

Add them to a rope or ribbon, and you have a tassel garland!

They’re perfect for New Year’s or any other party.  Or, they’d be adorable in a kid’s room or toy room. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
