DIY: Tassel Garland

Hey Guys! So I don't know about you guys, but this year my spring break came early! ( Which I'm really happy about :) ) But this whole week I have really been thinking about what decorations I could add to my room to give it some pizzaz! It's perfect timing because i'm moving! So me and my best friend Claudia decided to do 2 DIY's! One of them is a tassel garland ( what i'm showing you in this post) and the other are some cute canvases you could make! They do take time and patience so don't think you can knock out these projects in less then a hour. :)

They are super easy and fun! So grab a friend or two and try these DIY's!

          Materials:
  • Tissue Paper ( for gifts )
  • Cord or some sort of ribbon
  • A pen
  • Scissors
  • Ruler










          Directions:
  1. First lay out your piece of tissue paper on the ground. Make sure that you don't have any major creases in the paper.



    2. Then fold your paper hot dog style. ( Long side to other side )
    
3.Then fold it hamburger style. ( Short side to other short side )


 4. Then flatten the paper with a ruler to even it out.


 5. From the top of the thickest end of the paper, measure 2 inches from the top and draw a little mark.
6. Then from the less thick part of the folded paper, start cutting small stops up to the 2 inch mark that you made before.


In the end it should look like this :

7. Then on one of the top sides you can open, open it up.


 Should look like this:

 8. Then fold this side open.


Like this:

9. Find the middle part and cut through the middle.





 In the end you should have two pieces that look similar.

 10. Then take the long side of one of the two pieces and start to roll it up.




 11. Then loop it.
 And Voila! You have a tassel!




Then repeat this step until you have your desired amount of tassels. and then just put them onto the cord! And if you want your tassels to stay for a long time on the cord, add some tape the tassel so it connects to the cord.




Hope you guys liked this DIY!

Southern Bow Boutique Review

Recently I have been really obsessed with bows! And i have been finding so many good shops to get them! And one of my favorites it Southern Bow Boutique! They have the cutest bows that i have seen yet! From chevron and Lilly bows to red,white, and blue bows! They basically have a bow for every outfit! And thats what I love! I love that you can make any outfit completely different then what it was before, just by adding a little color! I also love how the back of the bow is a regular clip! I usually don't like it when bows have a french barrette clip. But these are perfect! Sometimes i wear these bows to dance when i have my hair in a bun! I always get compliments!

Here are some of the bows that i have gotten:














My favorite bow so far has to be my blue seersucker bow! I get so many compliments on it every time i wear it!
