SUPPLIES:
- Double-sided decorative cardstock
- scrapbook paper cut into 8″ x 2″ pieces
- Yarn (use thinner weight yarn)
- Scissors
- Hole Punch (use a small 1/8″ circle hole punch)
- Laminator (optional)
PROCEDURE:
- Start by wrapping yarn around your four fingers, but not too tight. You want to make sure you have room to tie the tassel knot at the top. When you have your desired weight or bulk of yarn for your tassel, cut off the end leaving about 8 inches hanging down.
- Then take the end and wound it between your index and middle fingers a couple times and pull. Create a knot here and carefully released yarn from your bottom three fingers.
3. Then with your scissors, cut the bottom yarn loop creating a nice fringe for your homemade tassel.
4. Finally, secure another piece of yarn (about 9″ long and folded in half) by sliding it through the top loops and stringing the cut ends through the folded end and pulling tight creating a knot at the top. Voila! You now have a pretty tassel.
5. Then it’s just a matter of attaching it to your pretty paper. Punch a hole at the top and secured with a knot at the top, trimming off any excess yarn.
