Inspired by Heather's post (from Love and Life at Leadora) which featured her Valentine tassel garland, I decided to make my own in honor of Chinese New Year which officially begins tomorrow (2/10)! Instructions for making tassel garland can be found here.
I used gold, red and pink tissue paper, along with mini paper lanterns, honeycomb circles and Chinese red envelopes.
When the heat vent blows in our sunroom, the tassels dance on the line.
Chris is convinced they look like his fishing spinner bait skirts.
I love this garland!
Gung Hay Fat Choy!

I ordered some things from Oriental Trading Company myself (you inspired me) so we can celebrate Chinese New Year too! A great reason to have a party and have everyone there! Just for fun!
Have a great day!
That is so pretty Kim :) I hope the girls have fun and enjoy the snow :) How old are the girls?
Kim....I added a Valentine giveaway button from Plushpussycat.com that you might be interested in! I thought the girls might get lucky and win some goodies for their dollhouse ;)
Beautiful and Perfect! Happy Chinese New Year!
How cute, Kim! The little lanterns are just adorable! I see lots of snow outside your window!
It does look like it's dancing! So colorful and pretty. Love the snow pic's from the last post. Happy New Year!
Now that you mention it they do look a tiny bit like bait spinners. But in a good way. Very festive!
I like when things like that move around when the heat comes on. It reallyis colorful. The little kid I watched last night where going to a China party today for Lily who was adopted 2 years ago.
So fun and different!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting. It's good to be blogging again!
