Don't you just love a tassel garland?? They're so easy to make and they always add a little fun to your day! Supplies needed: crepe paper in various colors scissors hot glue/gun ribbon ruler To begin, cut 3 strips of crepe paper the same length for each tassel. I typically cut strips 18-20 inches long but sizes can be changed based on how long or short you want your garland. Stack your crepe paper in groups of 3. Once the 3 strips are stacked together, find the center and fold the stack of 3 in half. Cut the folded stack of three from the ends towards the center leaving the center uncut. I usually cut about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up. I also cut two strips to create three pieces of fringe. Unfold the center and lay flat. Now fold the center in small sections to bring it together leaving the ends free. Once the middle is folded, twist the center to create a tighter center. Pick up the center of the rolled section and twist to form a loop. To secure the loop, use a small amount of hot glue. Once your tassels are all formed, slide onto a piece of ribbon to form your garland. Thicker ribbon will help the tassels stay in place but you can also glue individual tassels to your ribbon in order to keep them where you want them. There are so many possibilities with this garland! I use them for holidays, parties, and all over my classroom! Have fun!
