One of the steps to create a mini Tanabata fukinagashi decoration made with tissue paper flowers, foil streamers, and other materials for assemblage.

Directions for this step:

Take a twist tie and roll it around the top of 1 of the flower’s “stem” 2 times (this will be used to hang your tanabata)

See "How to Make Your Own Tanabata Decoration" album collection for the entire set of directions.
