NOW FOR THE DIY GIANT TASSEL TUTORIAL!

DIY Giant Party Tassels

If you’re having a donut party (and I encourage you to) or any party that you’d want a backdrop for but don’t want to spend a ton of cash and hours of your time- these giant tassels are your best friend.  They make such a statement but are still totally affordable- made from dollar store table cloths!

I made these ones specifically to match my plates and napkins– which are also donut themed, of course! But you can make them any color ever. Then I also had the donuts made to match because I didnt know you could do that and it made my party-loving day.

DIY Giant Party Tassels

Ready to learn how?

To make the Giant Tassels, you’ll need:

  • Plastic table cloths from the dollar store (rectangular shaped)
  • Scissors
  • String or embroidery thread
  • Spraypaint and a drop cloth

DIY Giant Party Tassels

Start by folding your table cloth into long rectangles. They should be as long as you would like your tassel to be. You’ll need to cut the end closest to you so there is no folds. Then, cut fringe into the rectangle, leaving a few inches at the top.

Now, take your rectangle and unfold it once, bunching the uncut part of the fringe and twist it to make a tassel as shown. Use your embroidery thread or string to wrap the tassel and tie off.

Now it looks like you’re done but this next part really makes a huge difference. ‘Fluffing’ the tassel will take it from the size of the tassel on the left to the one on the right… like double! Just make sure you pull each piece apart to separate the ones that were cut together.

When you’re all done, lay them on a drop cloth and use spray paint to mist the bottom of the tassel to add a touch of color. My favorite ones are by far that mint color! It’s so soft that it blends to the white really nicely. I’d definitely recommend using a lighter color like the mint to get that nice blend. The one that worked the least is the fluorescent paint and that’s because it’s not really a finishing quality paint- I think it’s more meant for flagging (but the color is rad).

I actually really loved the mint ones so much I’ve kept them. I’m not sure where they’ll go yet- they were hanging in my office and now they’re in my son’s closet. They’re too fun to get rid of!

Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ry Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ryobi_canada and I want to help you start knocking those projects off your list by giving away a new nailer and battery set! #ad 
This tool is what we used for this accent wall and all the trim in our home. It’s the one I used to trim out my built in shelving and add the decorative moulding to my geometric barn door. What I’m saying is this thing is a workhorse and I want you to have one too 😉

Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘st Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘station’ and the second photo is my dads! I’m talking aaaall about them over on YT today!
Also... see how nice that fresh silicone looks?! 😉 IYKYK
The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.
Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰 Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰
Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you? 😅
This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment for ya 🙃 
My #holidayhometour is on the blog and YouTube (I’ll put links in my stories) as part of the #seasonalsimplicity holiday home tour series. I’ll share those too so you don’t miss any!
