My tutorial for this week is super easy and super cheap:
I made this cute chain out of tissue paper to spruce up the window in my dorm. Here's how to make it!
Supplies:
-Thread
-Scissors
-Tacky Glue
-Paper Punch
-Tissue Paper
I got my tissue paper at walmart for $1 a pack, but you really only need one sheet of each color, so you people who don't live out of a dorm room and actually have stuff like tissue paper laying around may not even have to buy anything for this project!!
Steps:
Step One: Punch out a bunch of shapes using your paper punch. I folded the tissue paper a couple times so it went faster.
I used three different colors for mine:
Step Two: Dab a little tacky glue on one cutout, and place it on a piece of thread with another cutout on top.
That's really all there is to it! I alternated back and forth with my three different colors, and then cut the string into different lengths and hung them up above my window.
Hard to get a nice picture with the sun, but it adds a nice pop of color to the room!
I'm linking this project up to all the parties in my header!
PS: Don't forget I'm starting my very own link party this Wednesday! Grab my button awhile :)

Rebecca, I love this window decoration!! This is so pretty & artsy, but you can make it even in browns for seasonal colors or... well, obviously you know, lol. Also, I'll see you next Wednesday ;-)
