How to Craft a Charming Tassel-Decorated Easter Tree: Easy DIY Guide

Introduction

Bring festive cheer to your indoor Easter celebrations with a vibrant tassel-decorated tree branch. As a mom and avid crafter, I've found that tissue paper, twine, and washi tape create the cutest mini tassels. Hung from a simple branch, they're bright, cheerful, and utterly delightful.

Step 1

Select the perfect branch

I turned yard cleanup into fun by enlisting my daughter to pick sticks, declaring one the ideal branch. Anchor it securely in a tall vase filled with sand for stability.

Step 2

Cut tissue paper strips

Slice tissue paper into 3" x 5" rectangles. Opt for spring hues. You'll need washi tape, twine or ribbon, and scissors—fringe scissors speed things up nicely.

Step 3

Fold lengthwise

Fold the tissue paper in half lengthwise.

Step 4

Create fringes

Using fringe or regular scissors, cut thin strips along the folded edge, stopping 1/2" from the fold.

Step 5

Unfold the paper

Open the tissue paper to its full size.

Step 6

Roll tightly

Roll the tissue paper from one end to the other.

Step 7

Tie the center

Wrap a 6" piece of twine or ribbon around the center and knot securely.

Step 8

Fold over twine

Fold the rolled tassel in half over a length of twine.

Step 9

Secure with washi tape

Wrap washi tape around the top, just below the knot. Tie the twine into a loop for hanging.

Step 10

Repeat and decorate

Make as many tassels as needed to fill your Easter tree branch beautifully.
