Celebrate Good Times Come On

I found a link online, showing how to make uber crepe paper. I've lost the link but here's the idea-which was not originally mine.
Pick two colors of crepe paper, you can even use three if you can handle the pressure.
Adjust your machine: Highest tension and largest stitch
Now the easy part: sew. The streamers ruffle on their own
If you're not satisfied with the amount of ruffle, use your hand to slow the thread even more and increase the tension even more. 
I stuck the crepe paper on a 'dowel' aka a wooden kitchen spoon. This made non-stop sewing a breeze. 
Made a grand total of over 50 feet in less than 33 minutes (33 to be exact because that's how long Emma's cartoon was).
See how cute?
