Description

I saw this mentioned in a blog and quite fancied buying one......then i saw the price!!! Yikes! it was a bit out of my price range so i thought i would have a go at making my own. I'll be honest and say i am pretty impressed with the results! Let me know what you think!

Instructions

1. 

   All you need is a pair of sharp scissors and different shades of tissue paper

2. 

   Fold your sheet of paper in half going from top to bottom

3. 

   Then half again from left to right

4. 

   Then fold again from left to right and make a crease at the top about 4cm's down. This will be your guide and show you where to stop cutting

5. 

   Now going from the bottom toward the top make 0.5cm cuts up towards your crease.

6. 

   Keep going and then unfold the tissue paper. It should look like this. Start rolling the centre up towards the top

7. 

   Once its all rolled up, give it a few twists to secure.

8. 

   Then fold in half so the two feathery ends meet and twist at the top to form a loop. This is where you will string it through your ribbon or thread

9. 

   Now do a few more in different colours and string them up for all to admire! I left about 8-10 cm's between tassles. Pretty cute eh!
