MATERIALS:
A big roll of paper. I bought a bulletin board paper that was big enough to cover the wall.

TIP: You could use kraft paper instead of the bulletin board paper, but using a paper with color as a base will look better and will be easier to cover.
How to Make a Colorful Backdrop with Tissue Paper:
Prepare the Base
Securely attach the bulletin board paper or kraft paper on the wall. This way you will be able to tape or glue the tissue paper backdrop on top of the base an move it around if necessary.
Fold and Cut Tissue Paper
Fold each sheet of tissue paper in half lengthwise. Cut small strips along the folded edge, leaving approximately 5cm (2.5 inches) uncut at the top.
Repeat for All Sheets
Repeat the folding and cutting process for all sheets of tissue paper until you create enough to cover the whole wall.
4. Arrange and Tape
Begin attaching the strips of tissue paper to the paper base. It's recommended to start from the bottom to easily gauge the required amount of paper.
You can cut some strips in half to introduce more color variation if desired.
5. Final Touches
Continue gluing or taping the strips until the entire paper base is covered completely.
And that's it :) Your tissue paper backdrop is now ready!
This super colorful backdrop is perfect for pictures and selfies in your special events. You can make it as bigger as needed, by adding more bulletin board paper on the sides.
