How to Make a Tissue Paper Tassel Garland

Learn how to make a fun, simple tissue paper tassel garland using DIY tissue paper tassels in any color in this easy craft tutorial!

Materials

  • Tissue Paper
  • Scissors
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue
  • Twine

Instructions

  • Use our tissue paper tassel tutorial to cut half-strips of tissue paper into fringe, in preparation for rolling them into tassels.
    Cut small sections of twine that are about 2" long. You'll need one piece of twine per tassel.
    The twine will form a hanging loop at the top of each tissue paper tassel.
  • Proceed following the tissue paper tassel tutorial showing how to glue and roll the tassels up, except you will add the twine hanging loop to the top of the tassel before you begin rolling up the fringe.
  • Repeat with as many tassels in as many colors as you want for your garland.
  • Cut a long piece of twine that will be the length of your finished garland.
    Thread the tassels onto the long piece of twine by the hanging loops, in the color order you prefer, and tie loops at the ends of the twine.
    Your tissue paper tassel garland is done and ready to hang!

Notes

  • Buy tissue paper at big box stores in the gift wrap section, or at craft stores or dollar stores.
  • You can also save the tissue paper when you get gifts to use for future upcycled craft projects like this!
  • If you love making tassels like this, you can also use paper, cardboard tubes from inside toilet paper rolls, or your favorite fabric to make tassels just like this!
