Friday Crafternoon

Well what more could you wish for to do on a Friday afternoon that making some lovely crafts. In an attempt to make something like this (below) but in crepe paper, I had a play around and found the best method of construction to make some beautiful paper tassels:

How to Make Paper Tassels

1. Cut out 4 strips of paper, about 2 inches wide.

2. Using squares of double sided tape, secure these 4 strips together with a patch of tape in the middle of the strips. 

3. Fold the strips in half length ways, and then cut small strips up to about 2 inches from the centre fold. 

4. Open out and put another square of double sided tape in the middle. 

5. Roll the layers of paper length ways, as tightly as you can, and secure them with the tape. 

6. Twist the roll around into a loop, and secure near the top with a loop of crepe paper secured with double sided tape. 

7. Make a lot more and there you go! Beautiful!
