Step 1
Gather all of your supplies.
Step 2
Take a single piece of tissue paper and fold it in half longways. Then cut the paper to make it look fringed about 3/4 of the way through to the middle.
Step 3
Open up the fringed paper and fold it up until it looks like a roll with fridge on either side of the ends.
Step 4
Fold over the paper so that the ends match up with each other.
Step 5
Take a pencil or pen and put the folded over tassel onto it. Then slowly twist the top of the tassel until it is strong enough to stay without undoing.
Step 6
Tie on a piece of baker's twine or string onto the string attached to the balloon. String on the tassels and tie them onto the twine one at a time. We used three tassels on one balloon. Then attach the star garland to the top of the balloon's string. The garland we used had little metal rings that you can open with your fingers like a key chain, this makes for easy attachment.
Step 7
Super easy and super cute right? It's a definite double whammy. These would be perfect to dress up a party or to surprise a friend. Make these pretty balloons anytime of year to recieve instant smiles. Enjoy! :)
