Patriotic Tassel Garland
Embrace your patriotic spirit with the charming Patriotic Tassel Garland! Handcrafted with love and attention to detail, this festive decoration is perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to any space. Whether you're hosting a Fourth of July barbecue or simply want to show off your American pride, this delightful garland will surely brighten up your home with its red, white, and blue hues.
For this project you need 3 plastic rectangular tablecloths in each red, white, and blue as well as a clothesline.
Cut the tablecloths into 1 inch strips.
To do this easily:
1) Pull the tablecloths directly out of the plastic casing and lay it on a flat surface.
2) Unfold it one time to the right then begin cutting the strips. When you pull open the strip, the length will be the width of the tablecloth.
3) Continue to unfold to the right as you go.
Once you have cut all 3 tablecloths into strips, gather the ends of 1 each of a red, white, and a blue strip in your fingers.
Repeat so that you have 6 strips total in your fingers.
Fold the length of the strips in half.
Make a knot where the strips are folded in half so that a 1-inch loop remains.
Continue these steps until you run out of strips.
You should end up with approximately 45 tassels.
Thread the tassels onto the clothesline.
Tie the clothesline wherever you intend to hang your garland.
Since the tassels are made of plastic they should hold up outside for quite a while.
The strands rustle in the breeze.
It’s just dreamy!
