DIY: Tassel Garland

With the Super Bowl behind us, and Valentine's Day approaching, we're looking for reasons to celebrate. Regardless of what you're celebrating-- life, love, or your favorite yoga retreat-- getting together with your favorite people is always a good idea.

DIY: Tassel Garland

If you're anything like us, hosting a party is a chance to show off your greatest Pinterest success stories (heart-shaped vegan donuts, anyone?). We used the Super Bowl as an excuse for a new DIY project we've been dying to try, fringe tassel garland. Join us for a DIY party!
