Walking around NY, I've noticed these lovely decorations in boutique windows. They sparkle, glow and are truly an eye catching display. I went home, did some research on the Internet and found these festive garlands have evolved from parties and weddings to apartment decor.

| I adore this color palate |
They range in all shapes and sizes. Whether it's fabric or tissue paper, the garland tassel makes a fabulous decoration for in and outdoors.

| Fabulous for parties |
Confetti System make some gorgeous tassels that are custom made from NYC for $130. I love these festive tassels. They add
fun and
flare to any setting, especially with a variety of colors.

| Perfect for NYE |
I was truly inspired. So, with some left over yellow napkins, I decided to make my own. I admit I am quite a beginner and in the future I want to use more colors (especially metallics) and use different material that will really sparkle. Napkins were a great substitute.
 |
| Folding the napkin in half, I cut even trips form beginning to end, leaving 1/2 inch at the top uncut. |
 |
| By opening the napkin I started to roll the center, leaving the cut strips on each side. |
 |
| I then folded the napkin in half and tied the top with a piece of tape to hold in place. |
 |
| I tied these garlands to a wall decor piece I bought from West Elm. |
 |
| I even added a few 4x6 pictures using mini clothes pins. |
Voilà! Finished proof. These were fun and
super easy to make. I recommend checking out
Etsy,
pinterest and other blogs to find more garland ideas.
