Cocktail Napkin Flower Garland

Tags Bridal Showers, Party Decorations

This white tissue garland is a spin-off of the very popular cocktail napkin poinsettia I shared this last Christmas season. This is an even simpler version that when attached to ribbon to create a garland makes a gorgeous backdrop.

I can see this garland used for bridal showers, baby showers or a photo backdrop for a dreamy event. I also made a smaller one to hand on the back of the guest of honor’s chair. Of course you can use any color of cocktail napkin to make your garland. Wouldn’t this look pretty in pale pink on a dark chalkboard wall? Just lovely! Follow my step-by-step tutorial below to make this easy winter white or spring party decoration. Enjoy! ~ Lia

C’est absolument ravissant !! Merci beaucoup Lia pour ce partage !! <3
S'il te plait quelle taille de serviettes utilises-tu ? Une taille standard comme 13×13 inches ?
Il me semble que ce doit être un peu mou avec des serviettes (les utilises-tu dans toute leur épaisseur ou les sépares-tu ?) et que du papier de soie doit avoir plus de tenue…
Merci encore pour cette idée si jolie…

  I think the standard size is 6 inches x 6 inches when the napkin is folded 🙂

  These are made from cocktail napkins but you can use tissue paper of any kind.

I love this ‘curtain’ of flowers… so beautiful. I’ve just come across something called Iris paper folding… are you familiar with that Lia?
