Put A Tassel On It!

Tassels together with pom poms seem to survive the dwelling trouble solid decor exceptional of pick lately. I've seen them on pillows, throw blankets, purses, keychains, slice of furniture knobs, lamps, together with adorning a multifariousness of accessories. I've jumped on the pom-pom bandwagon, but wanted to endeavor my paw at making a few tassels every bit well.

I knew I wanted a few tassels to accent some of my accessories, together with I wanted them to survive fun! I've been thus inspired yesteryear the whimsical together with colorful items from a store called Furbish that I follow on Instagram, that I decided to lead a rainbow fashion yarn.

Once I made a few tassels, I couldn't stop! They are fifty-fifty easier to brand than pom poms.

I had a huge pom left over from making my pom pom pillows, thus I tied it together amongst 2 tassels on this handbasket from TJ Maxx.

And every bit I looked around my room, it seemed that everything needed a colorful tassel added!

I convey several random knobs on hand, thus I added i to our periodical handbasket amongst a twain of tassels.

If you've never made a tassel, you lot must try! Even if you lot don't comprehend color inward your decor every bit much every bit I do, these would survive lovely inward whatever color, or fifty-fifty inward lots of neutral tones using the fluffy, chunkier yarn for some texture. I made 2 dissimilar sizes, a longer, fuller i for the baskets, together with a smaller i for the owl.

All you'll demand is yarn together with a slice or cardboard, posterboard, or sturdy paper. I grabbed a Christmas carte du jour that was nearly the size I wanted my tassel to be. If you lot wishing smaller tassels, reduce you lot newspaper to the length you lot desire. Also, cutting i longer slice (about 12"), together with i shorter slice (about 6") of yarn together with salvage for later.

To brand the tassel:

1. Line the terminate of the yarn upwardly amongst the bottom of your card, together with thus start wrapping, roofing the slice you lot start amongst inward the outset few wraps thus it volition remain put. Keep it semi-loose, you'll survive sliding the yarn off the carte du jour at some betoken together with you lot wishing it to deed easily.

2. Continue to twine until you lot gain the fullness you lot want. This tassel is nearly 5" long, together with I wrapped the yarn nearly 50 times. The smaller tassels I made are 3" long, together with I wrapped them nearly twoscore times.

3. Take the long slice of extra cutting yarn together with thread it through the tiptop of the loop you lot wrapped (I doubled mine but you lot don't convey to).

4. Tie the loop tightly together with secure amongst a knot. Gently slide yarn off of the card.

5. With the reserved shorter slice of yarn, necktie tightly around the tiptop of the loop together with knot. You tin forcefulness out only eyeball how large you lot wishing this tiptop subdivision to be.

6. Slip pair of scissors through the bottom loops together with snip open.

7. That's it! You may demand to reduce a few stray ends, but they should all survive fairly uniform.
