Party deco trend: tassel garlands

One of our favourite party deco trends are paper tassel garlands ...
the soft, floaty look of a tissue paper tassel garlands can be a stylish addition to any celebration!

They are great used outdoors as they look especially lovely when the breeze catches them (check your weather forecast first though!)

Or why not tie to your pinata for an extra slash of colour?

And don’t just save them for a party … pop one up in the kids rooms across a wall or hang from the ceiling

You can also use them with giant helium filled balloons, just knot each tassel to the string so they don't all slide to the bottom! or you can purchase pre-made balloon tassel tails

The balloon tails look great with pinatas too
