  Step 1

  most important part!!! inside the nylon rope there is another thick material that keeps the rope sturdy... pull this out! This will make the rope thinner and softer.

• 

  Step 2

  weave the rope into the chain, leaving about 1/2" at the beginning

• 

  Step 3

  leave a couple of chain links at the end without the rope, and cut the rope leaving the extra 1/2"

• 

  Step 4

  glue the excess rope around the chain link and onto the other side of the rope, on both ends of the belt

• 

  Step 5

  attach the lobster clasp at the end of the side with all the chain links woven with the rope, using the split ring

• 

  Step 6

  drill a hole in the plumbing copper end pipe cap and spray paint silver (or use a silver nail polish)

• 

  Step 7

  fold in half a piece of cardboard of double the length of the desire tassel
  (my finish tassel measure 21 cm / 8-1/4" long)
  place a piece of the nylon mason twine on the crease of the cardboard and tape it.

• 

  Step 8

  wrap the cord around the cardboard

• 

  Step 9

  add few drops of glue on the top - the side with the rope taped on the cardboard

• 

  Step 10

  tie a double knot

• 

  Step 11

  cut the end of the wrapped rope - on the side where the cardboard is open in the middle

• 

  Step 12

  use the cord that you tied a knot on the top to wrap around and tie another double knot

• 

  Step 13

  open up a paper clip and slip it inside the "head" of the tassel

• 

  Step 14

  wrap the metal wire once

• 

  Step 15

  pass the end cap into the wire

• 

  Step 16

  insert the lobster clasp and wrap the wire around it - cut the excess wire

• 

  Step 17

  for an neat look, use your rule and the rotary cutter to cut the end of the tassel perfectly even!

• 

  Step 18

  your tassel is ready!

• 

  Step 19

  attach the tassel to one end of the belt and your statement neon belt is ready to party!

• 

  Step 20

  and here it is, next to the original!
