fringe streamers

so i originally didnt plan on tackling this one but thought it might be an easy project. i think i underestimated it a bit.  i saw a repost of this tutorial and bought some folds from this store.  the only issue with this store is that they charge a lot for shipping which really jacks up the price.  also i ordered the folds without really thinking about how all the colors would work.  it ended up looking too easter-y or pastel-y so i had to order more and i had to pay the shipping again!  argh

also cutting the fringes was pretty difficult for me in that i kept blistering my hands.  i ended up bandaging up my fingers so i could keep working but then other parts of my fingers would blister.  maybe i dont have the right, comfortable scissors?  not sure but some battle scars on this one.

so i cut the folds into 2 and 3 inch widths and then fringed them all.  i havent put it together yet and will probably do so closer to the date.  i am thinking of using rope instead of dowels to hang these but not sure how that would hold up. i know the rope would be easier to transport for me.  picture later when its finished.
