Tis the tassel garland season

So as awful as I am to blog, I had been working on a little project to post. It's the holiday season and I go to Michael's more often than I should around this time a year. 

You know how everyone and their moms send you cards in December? Even your car insurance company sends a little holiday "cheer" that you end up tossing. Well, those really cute cards that you DO end up keeping are sometimes displayed in little piles you've created along with junk mail. I have a solution on how to display them! I found this really cute tassel garland at michael's for around $4.99 plus they were 40% off last week so I didn't even need a coupon. Here's the tassel galand I picked

It's cute cause they're small tassels, and they won't steal too much attention from your cute Christmas cards coming in. As a Latina, I'm totally in love with using decorative tissue paper there's a world of different colors, and the possibilities are endless! Here, the possibility is a tassel garland pre cut from a little kit. Of course, there's no step by step instructions so I took the liberty of using my poorly lit room to post some for you all! 

Step one: you take out all the contents of the packet, mine came with a red and white string, a red, green, lime green and white pre cut tissue paper. Separate one sheet of the first color you're going to use.

Lay it out and start from one edge with the cut ends horizontal, and start rolling like so

Once you've rolled all the way to the end, start twisting the middle and out towards the slit ends 

Once you're done twisting place the string your hanging it off of in the middle over the twisted tassle

Then, twist over the string only leaving a small gap or no gap at the top of the string so that it grasps. 

After what seems like an eternity of rolling and twisting and placing on the string, your garland should finally be done! Of course it's winter so night falls early in the west coast and my room looks even gloomier than the usual. 

I used these adorable little mini clothes pins I also got at michael's (40% off), to hang the Christmas cards onto the garland😊 

Now, if you're too late to catch these cute kits at michael's, Pinterest has a bunch of pins to make DIY tassle garland. if you do not have a Pinterest account, you might want to leave it that way, or say goodbye to your life, only kidding! But it is pretty addictive. Thats the main reason I started a blog. Hehehehe! Hope you guys like this post and please don't forget to subscribe😉

Happy Holidays!
