You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 Pair Scissors
  • 6 Sheets Tissue Paper in various colours
  • 2 m Ribbon or String

Steps (9 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    All you need is a pair of sharp scissors and different shades of tissue paper

  2. 2

    Fold your sheet of paper in half going from top to bottom

  3. 3

    Then half again from left to right

  4. 4

    Then fold again from left to right and make a crease at the top about 4cm's down. This will be your guide and show you where to stop cutting

  5. 5

    Now going from the bottom toward the top make 0.5cm cuts up towards your crease.

  6. 6

    Keep going and then unfold the tissue paper. It should look like this.

    Start rolling the centre up towards the top

  7. 7

    Once its all rolled up, give it a few twists to secure.

  8. 8

    Then fold in half so the two feathery ends meet and twist at the top to form a loop. This is where you will string it through your ribbon or thread

  9. 9

    Now do a few more in different colours and string them up for all to admire!

    I left about 8-10 cm's between tassles.

    Pretty cute eh!
