Crepe Paper streamer tutorial

A simple idea
for a pretty party look.



Pre-weaved paper streamers….

step 1:


Take two rolls of crepe paper steamers

in your party colors and
tape the two ends together
like in picture above.
I use two sided tape,
you can also glue.

step two:


Take the roll on your left side (blue)
and cross over
to the right over the
yellow steamer .

step 3:

Take the yellow and cross over the blue
going from down to up...



Cross blue from right side to left,
next take yellow
from top bring down over blue.
Keep weaving back and forth
and up and down
until you have either the whole roll done
or needed length .

To keep bundles together I wrap
a stripe of paper around the
accordion folded crepe and tape.


I do this while I watch TV and store
in shoeboxes.
Crepe streamers go up faster and gives
your party a professional look.

It's all about Alice

"if i had a world of my own, everything
would be nonsense.
nothing would be what it is,
be what it is because everything
would be what it isn't.
and contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be.
and what it wouldn't be,
it would. you see?" from
Alice in Wonderland Disney movie...

if a mother could ask a fairy godmother
to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
