These garlands are showing up everywhere so I had to try to make them myself. Here they are above, in my living room, underneath a Swoon print. Below are the easy (yet a bit time consuming steps). Enjoy!
You need to cut the tissue paper in half and then fold it in half and cut as straight as possible leaving at least an inch un-cut at the top. I use fabric cutters. Scissor would be fine if you're meticulous. Martha Stewart sells a cutter just for these for around $22 at Michael's
After cutting, open the tissue paper as shown here and begin to roll. It doesn't have to be too tight and it helps to straighten the strands as you go. Once you rolled it al the way begin to twist tight until you twist one side around the other, ending up with a look like this:
Mix and match colors and string them in different patterns! The possibilities are endless!
