Crepe & Curling Ribbon to Balloon Clusters

Supplies:
Several Balloon Clusters
3 Rolls of Crepe Paper

Directions:

1. Place the ends of all crepe rolls together. Slip about 20'' of crepe down between Balloon Cluster. (Do not cut)

2. Hang cluster from a chandelier, or pin to curtain, etc.

3. If you want to drape crepe from one cluster to another, follow Balloon Clusters instructions to make as many clusters as you need and hang them around the room.

Crepe Paper Rosettes

Supplies:

3 Rolls of Crepe Paper
Small Amount of Matching Curling Ribbon

Directions:

Use all three rolls of crepe. Cut ends
on a slant, and place together, one on top of the other.

Measure 22" and hold mark with your fingers. Measure another 4" and fold crepe back onto itself.

Keep crepe flat and line up the edges of the 4" length evenly with the edges of the 22" length. Fig. 1

Fold crepe back on itself again.

Continue to fold 4" lengths back and forth until you have six layers of 4" loops. Fig. 1

Cut ends the same length as the first three tails of crepe. Tie a piece of curling ribbon tightly around all layers of crepe 3 1/4" from top of loops, catching the bottoms of all 4" lengths. Fig. 2

Separate loops by placing your forefinger inside at the top of each loop, use your thumb and second finger to pinch loop at the bottom and give it a 1/4 twist. Twisting will keep each loop from sliding back into the one next to it.

Continue separating each group of loops, alternating the colors. Fig. 3

Insert two or three fingers inside each loop and spread apart all the way down to the base to fluff and smooth each loop. Fig. 3

Pin rosettes to the corner of your table cloth, on your curtains or place in the middle of a balloon cluster. Drape one or two of the tails around balloons and let the rest hang below rosette.
