    Paper Tassels

    Paper tassels are available to purchase at many party stores. I love the festive touch the add to holiday gifts and party garlands… but hate paying more than $5 for piece of tissue paper.

    Luckily it’s easy to make your own eco-friendly tassels with just a sheet of  tissue paper. (You can even reuse crumpled tissue paper. Then the tassles are adorable and free!)

    This tutorial makes a tassel that is approximately 4-inches long. You can easily make the tassels larger or smaller by using a bigger or smaller sheet of tissue paper.
