Fringe DIY Paper Party Backdrop

I recently discovered a really cool new craft tool. It’s a special pair of scissors designed to cut fringe. These scissors make five cuts at one time! I have a birthday party coming up, so I decided to use them to make a fringe DIY paper backdrop. It turned out so cute! Use colored cardstock to match your party colors for a customized, statement wall that’s sure to WOW! your guests. Follow along below to learn how to make your own.

Want to make your own fringe DIY paper backdrop? Let’s get started!

Supplies needed to make your own DIY paper backdrop:

• Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors
• Core’dinations Smooth Colored Cardstock (they come in tons of cute color combinations – I used this Botanical pack)
• Scoring Board
• Permanent Double Sided Tape Roller
• Kraft Paper Roll, Butcher Paper or Wrapping Paper

Step one. Begin by cutting fringe along both long edges of the cardstock sheets. This step takes a long time, so turn on a movie and cut the night away!

Step two. Score a fold line (shown in pink) on each sheet of the fringed cardstock.

Step three. Fold the fringe over on itself.

Step four. Cut a piece (or several pieces) of butcher paper to the size you want your finished DIY paper backdrop to be. Begin taping the fringe in rows across the paper.

Step five. Cut off any excess butcher paper.

And you are done! Hang your awesome fringe DIY paper backdrop on the wall and get the party started!
