How To Make A Tassel

DIY DAY

I'll be showing you guys how I made these tassels. I am currently making them in preparation for my next project!

Step One: You will need some supplies but also a flat object to assist with making the tassel.

Supplies: yarn, flat object, scissors

I took the plastic cover off of my planner, it works so much better than cardboard. We will be wrapping the yarn around the cover.

I leave a little yarn at the bottom so it won't unravel as I wrap it.

I used the holes as a grid to measure how wide to make the tassel. I choose 3 notches

I cut a piece of yarn at 11 notches, this will be the tassels topper

Then I cut a piece of yarn at 4x's the length of the cover, this will be to wrap the tassel

Use the small piece of yarn to pull under tassel

At the very bottom cut the tassel off the cover

Tie a knot very tight at the top of the tassel keeping both sides even.

Starting from the bottom of the tassel lay the piece of yarn up to the top of the tassel

Create a loop at the top and continue to wrap around the top of the tassel

With the end piece stick it through the loop

With the beginning end of the wrapped yarn pull it down to conceal the loop trim any leftover yarn

trim any leftover yarn

And Viola....

...A Tassel!!
