Party Trend – Tissue Tassels

Tissue tassels and garlands have been on the party scene for a few years now, but they continue to be a popular party accessory.

Confetti System has been credited with the original tissue tassel design and now you can buy tissue tassel garlands from many shops on Etsy, but if that’s not in your budget, the good news is that they’re quite easy to make! There are many online tutorials if you want to try making one yourself for your next event.

I’ve gathered a few traditional and some unique ways to use tissue tassels to dress up your party.

I personally am loving the tissue tassel trend and I’ve been wanted to try making them myself for some time now. I made some large ones and they were easy enough, but everything’s better in mini, right?! so I made some mini tissue tassels as well.
