If You Want Something Do It Yourself: Pom Pom Garland

It seems that I'm hooked on making all different kinds of garland. Do you remember the tassel one I shared not too long ago? Anyway I'm getting pretty excited about Valentine's Day and decided to do one in the expected color scheme. This one was really simple and is one of those that is easy to do while watching your favorite show. There's not too much work that goes into it but the end result looks great.

Supplies

Pom Poms

Needle

Thread

The Steps

1. String thread through the eye of the needle and make a knot. 

2. Push needle through pom pom.

3. Make a pattern with your pom poms. I found it easier to let the pom poms collect together and gradually move them down the thread.

4. Separate each pom pom so that you have about half an inch between each.

5. Make a small loop on each end of the garland and hang.

If You Want Something Do It Yourself: Tassel Garland

Every now and then I like to change up the space above my desk...you know just to stay inspired and all that jazz. I really wanted to add a fun pop of color and lately I've been obsessed with tassel garlands. It's the perfect thing to give an instant change and brighten up a small space. I love the collection of colors I used here...they make me happy. 

Supplies:

Tissue paper (Colored & Foil) , Scissors, Ribbon, Tape

To start off with I used 1/4 of a full sheet of tissue paper...

1. Fold tissue paper in 1/2 three times 

2. Cut paper into fringes

3. Unfold and begin to roll tissue paper

4. Twist the center of the paper, form a loop, and secure with a piece of tape

5. Make a bunch in different colors

6. Lay out your ribbon and figure out a pattern

String tassels up and they are ready to hang!
