Handy Tips for Beginners

In order to make exquisite color combinations out of orange tissue paper and other types of tissue paper, there are certain things that you should keep in mind. Combining together various combinations of colors can be tricky. The entire theme of your event could drastically change if you tamper with the colors involved.

So to give you an early heads up, here are a few tips that you can use while planning the theme of your venue, or making a pinata (Wikipedia Link) for your toddler’s fourth birthday party.

• While deciding the theme and decor of your venue, do keep in mind that light-colored tissue papers – the color of pink, salmon, and yellow do their best work during the daytime.
• For a night event, use more pronounced and prominent colors of tissue papers for decorative purposes. Colors on the darker side of the spectrum work best when combined with colors on the lighter side of the spectrum. In simple words, we’re talking about black and white.
• If there are more than three colors involved, do make a mental note of the sequence of the combination that you finalized upon. It could be that the colors look absolutely splendid in one sequence, but an abomination in another. Not literally, of course, but do keep this in mind.

How to Make a Halloween Pumpkin Using Orange and Black Tissue Paper?

Supplies:

• Orange and black tissue paper, in bulk
• Glue stick
• Marker
• Chopstick, or a bamboo skewer

How to proceed?

• In order to make sure you have the right pattern for alternate black and orange, use the marker to draw the layers of each color alternatingly.
• In order to make that step easier, get a foam pumpkin with an even number of bumps.
• Cut the tissue papers, both orange and black, into smaller squares.
• Use the bamboo skewer and form a ‘floret’ on one piece of orange tissue paper. This will be used to attach the tissue paper to the pumpkin.
• For sticking the tissue paper to the pumpkin, we recommend that you use hot glue rather than school glue as this process would require a lot of wear and tear. Thus, this is done to ensure that the pieces are held up.
• It is also recommended that you start working on the layers with black tissue paper after you are done working on the layers with orange tissue paper. This would give the tissue paper enough time to dry and stick to the pumpkin.
• And viola! The color contrast of your spooky pumpkin does make for a classic Halloween vignette.
• If you want, you can carve out googly eyes and a creepy smile for your pumpkin to make it spookier.
