Keeping Christmas Eco - tassel garland
I have seen gorgeous tassel garlands around the traps (i.e. on the internet..)and think they look pretty good too.
But in the spirit of keeping it eco, I've made one from recycled materials.
Sewing patterns are just tissue paper, right? So I cut the rectangle I wanted and painted them with watercolour paint. The large tassel in the centre is a chip packet cut lengthwise down the sides. The smaller corn chip tassels are a single packet cut in half.
It did all those tassel-like things you would expect - it swayed inthe breeze, rustled and picked up the light. I should make more tassels and make it longer but I got distracted making something else....I'll show you tomorrow...
Can you spy the apricots ripening in the tree? Yum!
you can do no craft wrong in my eyes, this is another ace make. hopefully i've got time to have a bash at rustling some up for my girls birthday party-i reckon the girls would love to use these as mad bracelet pom poms at the bubble disco were going to have!
ReplyDeleteAw...that's very kind. I'm making a tutorial for tassels tomorrow! And yes! Great for discos! Wish I was having a bubble disco party.
