Step one: Getting your tissue paper ready
This step is for getting the tissue paper ready to make in to a tassel.
You will start with your paper open and laid out flat.
Fold the paper in half long ways.
Cut in to four fairly equal parts. They don’t have to be perfect.
You will have four folded pieces of tissue paper.
Step two: Putting your scissors to use
Starting at the non-folded end, cut strips about 1/2 inch wide, *stopping your cut about two inches from the fold.* This will give you space later to make your loop so you can hang your tassel.
Step three: Twisting the tassel
Open your folded and cut tissue paper and lay it out flat. Start at the end closest to you and begin rolling the tissue paper up. You’re not twisting it yet. Just roll it fairly tightly until it is all the way rolled up.
Now you will twist the middle of the tassel where it isn’t cut. Twist it pretty tight, but not too tight that you could rip it.
Step four: Make the loop to secure your Easy DIY Tissue Paper Tassels
Loop the twisted part and secure it with another twist around itself. After you’ve made the loop, you can tie as many of them up as you want! I secured each of my tassels with a simple knot so they wouldn’t slide around.
