5. Recycled Felt Streamers
Recycled felt is the star of these simple streamers. Once you cut out the circles for these streamers, you can whip together a big batch pretty quickly. No ironing or pinning required. Just sit down at the machine with your stack of circles and your ribbon, and get stitching. These look great hanging over a door or from a pop up tent if you’re partying outside.
love paper chains! so easy and kids can make them quickly! 🙂
I make my own streamers to by upcycling tissue paper. One party can overload you with the stuff but if you save it for your next party they’ll make great streamers. What you do is cut the tissue paper lenghthwise, I cut them 3 inches wide. Using some matching yarn and a wool needle I skewer the strips onto the yarn. You can make them tight or loose, crinkle the paper up or you can cut the strips with pinking shears or pattened scissors to add texture. They can be solid or you can alternate colors. Many possibilities and I find them so much easier to hang! For my father’s 80th birthday we had the grandchildren each make one about 3 feet long, then they attached a paper cut out to the end decorated with glitter paint with birthday messages or pics and we just hung them straight down from the ceiling.
