Hey lovelies! Happy St. Patty’s Day!! Whether you’re one who celebrates this day or not, we just want you all to know how lucky we are to have you as readers of Spark & Chemistry. We are truly blessed- and you’re the reason we keep wanting to post, craft, and make fun, pretty things! If you love this image, share this post with the readers on your own blog, Instagram, other social media, or your own friends and family to let them know how much they mean to you! We want to reach out to as many of you as possible so we can continue to build our little family over here (maybe one day a massive family!) Because of this, we have been looking at ways on how to reach out to you and create a platform, for which we all can benefit from, this includes making sure our social media is up to date and we use as many resources as possible. Some of our fellow Instagram users have told us about Growthoid and hope it can help us gain the followers that we need, so we can continue to spread our word and designs, etc. There are many similar websites that do the same thing, so we will be sure to check out the different options and work out what is best for us. There are so many questions to ask when it comes to social media. Is Instaboom legit? Is buying likes worth it? Does it really matter how many followers I have? We do love Instagram so we will definitely be looking at how to improve our platform. Social media is a great way for us to connect with you and for you guys to connect with each other, that is why utilizing as many resources as we can, will help us all get in contact and celebrate, whether that be virtually or face to face, getting to know each other will certainly help strengthen a lot of bonds.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

xoxo,

Alicia

How to Make Paper Tassels

Share this post!

Hey lovelies!  Ready to make some paper tassels?  I love these things.  I can put therm on any gift box to give it a little bit more flair.  They’re super easy to make and we’ve got a template for you to help speed things along if you need them quickly.  Check out the tutorial!

For this DIY, you’ll need:

  • Cardstock
  • Paper Tassel Template (optional)
  • Paper cutting board
  • Scissors
  • Tape or craft glue
  • Ruler
  • Pencil

Paper tassel suppliesI’m going to show you how to create the template from scratch; but if you’re running low on time, feel free to download the template here.

Step 1:

Draw a horizontal line, lengthwise, in the center of the paper.

Step 2:

From the edge of the paper and 1/2 inch in, draw a vertical line down.  Repeat this step on the opposite end as well.

Step 3:

Look down at your paper, and make sure it’s laying horizontally.  Erase the small line that starts at the edge and meets the vertical line you just drew.

Step 4:

Now cut along all your lines.  You should now have 2 sections.  Each section will become one tassel.

Step 5:

Take one of those sections and begin cutting slits that are about 1/8″ wide, vertically up from the bottom.  I eyeballed this, but you can draw guidelines before cutting if you want it precise.  I’ve drawn a guideline to mark how high up I wanted to cut.  Just be sure not to cut too far up.  Leave about 1/2″ from the top.  Cut the slits all the way down to the end of the paper.  Repeat this with the other cardstock cutout.

Step 6:

Gently fold down the thin, top piece and tape it securely.  But be sure not to crease it.  You want it to be more of “loop” than a “fold.”

Step 7:

Starting from the end with the folded flap, begin rolling it around itself to form the tassel.  Be sure to roll it tightly and tape it securely at the end.  If you don’t like the length of the tassel, cut as much off as you want from the bottom.

And that’s it!  Style these tassels on a gift box for a friend or create fun garland with them for party decorations.
