DIY Tassel Garland
Decorate your space party style with this diy banner garland. Its perfect for celebrations, or could be pulled off as everyday style in the right colours!
Note: I've made these banners before, but with tissue paper. Trust me when I say this is much easier and looks just as pretty!
Everything I needed to make these I got from the dollar store, that being said, maybe yours carries different items, its definitely worth checking out. You will need plastic table cloths, washi tape, scissors and a got glue gun.
Unfold plastic Table cloth. Notice the lines made by the manufactures folding process and use those for a guide. Cut every second 'line'. Do this as many times as you want tassels.
My full pieces were approximately 14 inches, 7 inches on either side of the crease.
Take one piece and fold it back along the line, this would mean your piece of table cloth is folded in half again. Then cut 1cm strips from the bottom, until about 1.5-2 inches from the fold at the top.
Once you have all of the fringe cut open the piece back up and place it with the fringe to either side, left and right. Begin to roll from bottom to top.
When you've rolled to the end pick up your creation and start twisting the middle uncut section to make it tight. Twist until it starts to roll together, and form a loop at the top. Use a decorative Washi Tape to wrap around it, and add a dap of hot glue to really secure the end of the tape.
String the finished tassels onto a long piece of string, or ribbon and hang.

Awesome! Always looking for things to make/ hang for outside for each holiday. Have an old umbrella clothesline that gets decorated. Tassels like this would be great. Thanks for sharing.
