Tassels are everywhere nowadays. They are actually super easy to make and personalize. This step by step tutorial will show you how to make an embroidery floss tassel.
Step by step instructions with photos available at lesliewritesitall.com/diy-tass...
Tools you’ll need (links to products found in blog):
Scissors
Embroidery floss
2-Ply Lame Cord
Lobster claw clasps key rings
A paper clip
Step 1: Cut some cardboard
I tried buying a tassel making device from the crafts store to see if it would be easier but I found this method to be a lot easier and cheaper to do. Just find a piece of scrap cardboard and cut it into a square that's roughly double the length of your tassel. The photo below shows a finished tassel roughly half the size of the cardboard piece I have cut out. Use a ruler to measure the exact center of the cardboard piece. Draw a line and begin cutting a slit through the center.
Step 2: Measure and cut the embroidery floss
Now, holding one end of the embroidery string, wrap around the cardboard until you are satisfied with the thickness of the tassel. If you are making multiple tassels, keep track of number of turns so that you can be consistent in the thickness of your tassel.
Once you're happy with the number of wraparound turns, snip the ends. Quadruple thread about 12" of embroidery floss and weave it through the swivel portion of the keychain. Use the slit that was cut in the center of the cardboard to begin tying all the thread together. Weave several times through the swivel keychain to secure it completely before tying a double knot.
Step 3: Tie the threads together with the gold cord
Now that the threads are tied together at the center, you can slip all the threads off our cardboard apparatus. Slip off one side at a time and be careful to keep your finger through the loop so that it's easier for you to cut through all the threads once all of it is slipped off the cardboard. Repeat on the other side until both ends are off the cardboard.
Fold the two ends together (just like we did with the ribbons) to cover the double knot on the opposite side of the swivel keychain. Double thread the lame cord to about 10 inches in length and tie a basic knot at the top near the keychain.
Wrap the cord around until the thread underneath is completely covered. Once you're satisfied, tie a double knot tightly near the top of the keychain where the fold of the threads meet.
Step 4: Hiding the gold cord
Once the double knot is tied tightly, cut the ends, leaving about a 1/4” to 1/2” of lame cord sticking out. Using the end of a paperclip, tuck the loose ends and the double knot into the fold where the ribbons meet. This will hide the knot so the gold lame cord wrap looks seamless.
