This year I committed to not going overboard on Valentine’s Day decorations. In fact, I tried to only use what I already had on hand. But when I saw some super cute Tissue Tassel Garland at Target, I was seriously tempted. But for $10, it just didn’t seem worth it. Like a good DIY girl, I instead decided to make my own DIY Tissue Garland for less than $3!
Again, I tried not to go crazy and used mostly decorationI had made in years past, like the tulip heart wreath and "Love, Kisses, & Valentine Wishes" Pallet. I did add my old window that tends to float around my house at various times of the year, and I used scrapbook paper to make a few "trees." But I thought the big impression this year is the simple tissue garland.
I saw similar garland for sale in stores for around $10, but decided to make my own for under $3. Added bonus, it only took about 5 minutes to make, with no special skill level required.
Supplies needed:
Put your finger in the fold at the top, and bunch the tissue together.
Then, twist the tissue around, with your finger still in the fold. If you find that the twist is coming undone, you may have too many sheets of tissue. Just remove one or two and twist again! With the small multi-color pack of tissue from target, I found it was the perfect amount and size.
What do you think? Do you have any tips for tissue garland??
