Fringe Crepe-Paper Streamers

Sometimes, a simple crepe-paper streamer can seem too understated. Try our editors' trick and our free template to make an upgraded version.

Updated September 14, 2017

When you want to drape a doorway or party space with something decidedly more exuberant, cut curvaceous streamers from what's called a "fold" of crepe paper (a single sheet that's about two feet wide by eight feet long). Snip them along the edges with fringe scissors for a fluttering texture, then gently twist the crepe to give it shape.

How to do it

Step 1

Print templates onto 8 ½-by-11-inch card stock and cut out.
