Things You’ll Need

  • Yarn

  • Scissors

  • (1) 24" wooden dowel

  • (1) 18" wooden dowel

  • Wire snips (optional)

  • Hot glue gun + hot glue sticks

  • Gold wire (optional)

  • Small piece of cardboard or scrap wood as DIY template (optional)

Materials

Step 1: Form Tassels

Wrap yarn around a piece of scrap wood or cardboard about 15-20 times. Using a piece of cardboard or wood as a DIY template will ensure your tassels are the same length throughout your piece.

Wrap Around

Take a shorter piece of yarn and slip it under the rest. Then pull it up towards the top of the wood piece and tie a knot.

Cut the bottom yarn ends to open up the tassel.

Step 2: Add Gold Detailing

Cut off a small piece of gold wire using wire snips. This golden detail is optional but it does luxe it up a bit.

Gold Option

Loop the wire through where the existing tie is and close the wire into a small circle.

Gold Option 2

Turn the knot inside the tassel to hide it.

Step 3: Finish Tassels

Wrap an excess piece of yarn around the bundle towards to top to finish the tassel. Then trim the bottom pieces until even.

Repeat these steps to create as many tassels as you'd like.

Tip

Using a skinnier yarn makes the piece look more elegant.

Step 4: String Tassels Together

Place the small dowel horizontally above the large dowel and space them out. Place tassels how you'd like them to drape between the two dowels.

Lay Out

Feed a string of yarn through the wire loops of the top layer of tassels. Then repeat on the bottom layer of tassels.
