You Will Need
-
Step 1Start with a rectangle of cardboard. The size isn't too important but one side needs to be the length you want your tassel to be. This piece is about 10 cm x 7 cm.
-
Step 2Wrap your yarn around the cardboard.
-
Step 3Keep wrapping until your tassel has reached the desired thickness.
-
Step 4Take a piece of yarn under all of the strands and tie it tightly at one end of the cardboard. Use this piece of yarn to tie a hanging loop for your tassel.
-
Step 5At the opposite end of the tassel, cut through all the strands of yarn, leaving you with a bunch of strands tied in the middle.
-
Step 6Fold the bunch of strands where they are tied together and take another length of yarn and use it to tightly wrap the tassel, about 1 cm from the tied middle. Weave this end of yarn into the wrapping to secure it.
-
Step 7Give your tassel a trim to tidy it up then use it to adorn jewellery, presents, your keys, your cat, whatever you can attach it to!
