Tissue Paper Banner Tutorial

What You’ll Need:

• Tissue paper
• Scissors
• Ribbon

Begin by removing the tissue paper from its packaging. Lay 3-5 sheets out on your workspace and fold in half so you can maximize the amount cut. Be sure to cut vertically with the folds so you don’t end up with dented fringe.I’ve seen numerous ways to create a tissue paper banner. I cut my paper into individual long shreds because I didn’t have a paper trimmer, but if you do have a trimmer this might be an easier way to cut your paper.Once you’re finished cutting, group the strands according to color. Once my pile was to my liking, I began carefully twisting the paper to create a loop. I secured my loop by tying it with a piece of gold ribbon.String each fringe cluster on your ribbon and you’re ready to hang.Tada! An inexpensive and easy to make banner for any occasion!

Fringe Cake Toppers

What You Need:

• Tissue Paper
• Thread or floss
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Wooden Skewers 

Begin by stacking 3 pieces of tissue paper on top of one another. Cut out a small rectangle and fold in half lengthwise, then fold once more widthwise. Once folded, begin cutting your fringe on the open edge.

Pull a part your tissue paper so it look like this. Now begin folding again. Fold once lengthwise then once again, widthwise. Now take your floss or thread and tie a few knots around your tissue paper.
From here you begin pulling a part your fringe until it looks like the cake topper below.Once you’ve pulled out all your fringe, put a drop of hot glue on your skewer and stick it to your fringe pom-pom.Play with pom-pom sizes and colors to coordinate with the rest of your party decor!
