DIY party decorations are always so much fun to make and add a special touch to any event. For example, you can make mini toilet paper tube pinatas to hang around the room, a spooky DIY tablecloth for Halloween, or fun football party decorations for game day.
This tissue paper garland is made from something most of us have on hand and is perfect for just about any occasion. Make it with bright colors for a Cinco De Mayo celebration, with orange and black tissue paper for Halloween or red and green paper for Christmas banners. It’s so versatile and can transform any party into a festive event.
Supplies You’ll Need
- Tissue paper—I bought the tissue paper at The Dollar Tree, but many of us have leftover tissue paper from gift bags.
- Twine – you’ll need twine for tying the tissue paper decorations and for hanging the banner
- Glue – I like to use tacky glue
Equipment Needed
Scissors
How to Make the Garland
Step One
Cut about one-inch wide strips from the tissue paper
Gather five strips of one color
Fold the gathered strips in half, forming a loop in the middle
Use twine to tie a knot under the loop
Make several more tissue paper tassels
Thread a long piece of twine through the tassel loops
Once you have your tassels spread apart as you like them, add a dab of tacky glue to the twine under the tassel so it will stay in place
Hang the banner and enjoy!
Variation
Halloween Tassel Banner – Use black and orange tissue paper or Halloween-decorated tissue paper.
Christmas Tassel Banner – Use red and green tissue paper along with Christmas-decorated tissue paper
Easter Tassel Banner – Use pastel colors for an Easter banner
Baby Shower Banner – Use light blue or light pink tissue paper to make a baby shower tassel banner
Valentine’s Day Banner – Use red and white tissue paper for a Valentine’s tissue banner
FAQs
What Can I Use to Hang the Paper Party Banner With?
Command strip hooks are a great way to hang party banners. Make a loop in the ends of the twine and loop them over the two hooks to hang on the wall or from a mantle.

Banner Size
You should be able to get about three tassels from each piece of tissue paper, so five pieces of tissue paper and a long piece of twine will give you a long and beautiful fifteen tassel banner
