TASSELS
These simple tassels are very easy to make. You’ll need:
- A piece of card
- Your yarn
- A pair of scissors
Look at our step by step photo instructions below for help with how to make tassels.
STEP 1
Measure a piece of cardboard – the height of it should be the length you want your tassel to be. Wrap your yarn around the cardboard – the more you wrap, the thicker the tassel!
STEP 2
Thread a longish piece of yarn (this will be the yarn you’ll use later to attach your tassel) into the loops you’ve wrapped, bring to the top and tie tightly.
STEP 3
Take your scissors and cut the bottom of the yarn, along the edge of the cardboard.
STEP 4
You’ll now have strings of yarn all the same length. Make sure the yarn tying them together is secure. Now fold it over and bring the two cut ends together.
STEP 5
Take another piece of yarn and wrap it around the tassel a few times. Tie a knot and hide this in your tassel. Trim the ends.
STEP 6
You can now tidy up your tassel and tailor it for your project.
