This tutorial shows you how to make a larger version big enough to dress the front of a buffet table or stretch across a wall, but you can easily scale down the project. For a version small enough to add flair to your dining chairs, use 1/8 sheet of tissue paper per tassel.

Materials Needed:

1/2 sheet of 20" x 20" or 20" x 24" tissue paper or mylar per tassel
scissors

ribbon or cord
