Here's another quickie garland to add to your repertoire, adding to the 20 minute paper button garland I posted a few months back. This project is very simple and doesn't require much instruction at all. Just fold small pieces of washi tape over a thin cotton string and snip the ends. I chose to do little Vs at the end of mine, but semicircles, fringe, patterned craft scissors—really anything will work here. Here are a few tips.
Pick washi tape that coordinates a little better than mine.

| More cheery? |
Tear off your tape ahead of time and line it up so that you can work quickly.
 |
| Mise en place |
It will be easier to put the tape on the string if you have it at tension, so tie or tape it between two stable things.
 |
| Tighten up! |
When you reach your desired length, find a pretty spot to put it, like a mirror or picture frame. You can even tape each end to a skewer and pop it atop a cake!
