Rustic Fourth of July: Quick Crepe Paper Decorations

Crepe paper is so fun, festive and affordable for party decorations. There are many different brands out there but I have been happiest with the Hallmark (like the cards) brand. It's a little thicker than many of them out there and doesn't rip as easily. Plus at $1 a roll– it's quite a steal!

Supplies: Red, white and blue crepe paper, sewing machine and Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors. These scissors make fringing anything so much easier. I have linked to the product on Amazon but they are also available and Michael's and with that 40% coupon, they are a great deal.

Stack your crepe paper in the order you like.

Love the way this looks too.

Fluff it up for maximum impact. Ideas: Decorate mantles, tables, twist and hang from light fixtures. The possibilities are endless. Tip: Doubled sided tape works great as an adhesive.

 Happy Crepe Papering!
