First what you need to do is set your sewing machine to the longest straight stitch length, mine is 6. Then set it to the highest tension setting, mine is 9.
Use 3 reams of ordinary crepe paper streamers in any colour combination you like. Be sure they overlap enough so that they are all being sewn together properly. Let the machine do the feeding and watch the paper magically ruffle before your eyes! Be sure to back stitch each end so that the stitching doesn't unravel.
Use a pencil as a dowel to keep the streamers from getting tangled. Place the rolls of streamers on the floor in front of you and make sure they are all unrolling in the same direction. This will save you a lot of time so make sure you don't skip this step.

Use your hands to guide the paper toward the needle |

Make sure you have a furry helper     I had a lot of fun with this, so much that I've already started making decorations for Jayden's 1st birthday party! |
