Lynn Stevens: Tissue Paper Fringe a la Inka

I learned how to make this fun paper fringe from my friend Inka at Altered Artifacts. She was kind enough to let me share her technique with you.

You'll need colored tissue paper, a sewing machine, scissors. That's it!

Start with sheets of your favorite colored tissue paper. Fold several times length wise as shown.

Stitch with your sewing machine down one side.

Then,s stitch down the other side.

Cut down the center with your scissors.

Begin clipping along both sides, being careful not to cut through your stitching.

Cut of the length you would like to use and begin twisting holding both ends. Keep twisting until it's fully twisted.

Without letting it untwist, wad it in a ball in the palms of your hands. Rolling it back and forth.

Then open it up and that's it. Fluff as desired. You can fold up the rest and use it as needed.
You can check out Inka's site as well for another tutorial and some great ideas. Altered Artifacts
