Just in time for your next Mardi Gras theme celebration or masquerade party-in-a-box, let us show you how to handcraft one of our favorite decorative pieces using plastic table covers! Learn how to make this bright and colorful tassel garland here.

Here’s What You’ll Need To Create This Tassel Garland

Note: A single table cover can make approximately 20 tassels.

• Plastic Table Covers
• Sandy Washi Tape
• Metallic Cord
• Scissors
• Ruler

How To Make Your Own DIY Mardi Gras Decorations:

1. Using your plastic table cover and scissors, cut a 27” x 10” section. Fold in half.
2. To make sure your tassel strips are even and uniform, take a ruler and place it just below the fold crease. Weigh it down with something heavy.
3. Once your table cover is weighed down and secure, start trimming your tassels! In 1” sections, start from the bottom of your table cover and move your scissors upwards towards the crease. Stop when you reach your ruler.
4. After you’ve made your tassel strips, unfold your table cover and smooth it out over your workspace.
5. Create your tassel shape by rolling your cover lengthwise at the center.
6. Once rolled, twist your tassels at the center to form a loop.
7. Using your matching washi tape, secure the base of this loop.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 to create as many tassels as you want! Once you’ve finished your individual tassels, string them onto your metallic cord. Hang your garland and enjoy!
