Today I'm sharing part 1 of my mini series: How-To Fringe Die. ***This really will be a "mini" series if my ideas don't work! LOL! 

I shared this card on Sunday {HERE} for the Paper Smooches SPARKS April Picture Perfect challenge. And today I'm sharing how to create those cute little tassels that I added for a bit of dimension! SUPER easy!

Whisker Graphics: Birthday Celebration

Hello, friends:}

***GIVEAWAY details below! 

Today I'm sharing my Whisker Graphics creation that is featured on the WG blog-- you can also read about this creation over on the WG blog HERE.

Today is also my BIRTHDAY! WHOOP WHOOP! And I'm giving away a prize to one of YOU!!!!! Be sure to check out the details below!! 

So to celebrate my birthday, I created some fun decorations using WG divine twine! I've made some divine twine tassels (following THIS tutorial). These are great for presents and for decorating birthday balloons! 

After I made several tassels, I added them to some balloons filled with helium and tied them to a golf tee. This golf tee holds the balloon in place perfectly! 

We cut about a 6 foot strand of divine twine for our balloon decorations.

Look at how pretty these balloons and tassels are!

Divine Twine used: Cherry, Cotton Candy, Green Apple, Orange, Lemon, Plum Purple, Teal

Here are couple of extra ideas for this party decoration: 

1. Use only one WG divine twine color to make these decorations POP!
2. Make your tassels a bit longer and fuller!
3. Add a letter to each balloon to spell out the birthday boy/girl's name! 
4. Use colored balloons to match the WG divine twine!
