SPRING IN MY ROOM / DIY #3

This Saturday I finally started doing the last Spring project for my room. I'm always like this - I find an idea, I get really excited and then  forget I about them really often. It sucks quite a lot but this time I decided to finally find something to fill up me empty wall (Fun fact - I really don't like empty walls in my room. One wall and the half is full of the pictures, the second one has poster and a painting on it and the third one has a window. There's only one wall that has only clock on it).
I probably saw this idea on Pinterest and I really liked it. There was only a little problem finding a tissue paper but after many pages visited on Google I found out that Ikea actually sells it. I of course got to get it but then it was just laying in my room for couple of weeks. The problem is that I'm really lacking determination sometimes.But despite that, this weekend I finally got my hands on it and started crafting a bit and really enjoyed it. I'm really pleased with the result, I like how it fits into the theme of my room. Not that my room has a certain theme, it just fits there, you know? My Mom actually doesn't like this garland and she doesn't understand its purpose because it doesn't really seem like an accessory to her but I really like it! It's so fun and I love the fact that I did it all myself.

If you'd like to see them, my other two Spring DIY posts are here Part 1 / Part 2 .

 Fold the paper and make sure that these sides where arrows are pointing aren't separate, that you can't unfold them. Only the left side and the bottom of the paper should be separate sides.
 This step isn't really necessary but I can't cut the straight line so using a ruler is a must for me, if your hands aren't sharing, you can skip this one. 
 There should be a couple of centimeters left at the top of the page when you cut these lines.
 After you've cut all of the lines, unfold the paper, cut the right side where it is connected (there should be only the top of the paper still connected) and start twisting the paper.
 When you've twisted all the paper, make the twist a bit tighter. 
 That is how the end result should look. 
The last step is putting all the tassels on the rope and twist them a bit stronger once again, they hold on really well. Then secure the garland on the wall and there you have it, a brand new garland!
