Punch up the festivity level of your next party with a homemade fringe garland. These garlands can be created with any combination of colors of tissue paper you want to use.

Learn to create the basic fringe garland and then customize the result to your needs.

Things You'll Need

• Tissue paper
• Yarn
• White glue
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Unfold sheets of tissue paper and line them up on a flat surface, edge to edge until you reach your desired length.

2. Unravel and cut a piece of yarn long enough to stretch across the lined-up tissue paper and leave 4 inches of extra yarn on either end.

3. Place the yarn across the tissue paper so that it crosses the horizontal center of each sheet of tissue paper.

4. Squeeze a bead of white glue directly over where the yarn lays, on both the paper and yarn.

5. Fold the paper where the yarn lays by pulling the top edge to meet the bottom edge. Press your fingers along the fold to keep the yarn in place.

6. Cut slits through both layers of tissue paper from the bottom edge to 2 inches from the top edge. Cut a slit every inch along the lined up tissue paper. Use the 4-inch ends to hang over tacks, hooks or nails and display the garland.
