Possibly the easiest thing you will ever make! These tassels look amazing on just about anything and if you follow my craft tutorials you will see I use them a lot. They transformed the crochet bunting and were the perfect finishing touch on the Pom Pom Curtain!
All you will need are 2 pieces of card, some colourful wool and a pair of scissors.
All you need are two pieces of card, a pair of scissors and some colourful wool.
Cut a piece of wool about 30cm long and sandwich it between the two pieces of card.
Take your wool and begin to wrap it around the card.
Do this about 30 - 40 times (depending upon how thick you want your tassel to be). Cut your wool and lay the card flat.
Pick up the ends of the wool you sandwiched between the card and tie a knot. Tie a second knot to keep it secure.
Take the card and cut through the wool at the opposite end to the knot.
Once you have cut through the wool remove the cardboard and lay flat.
Take another piece of wool in a contrasting colour and cut it to approximately 30 cm and place it under the tassel 1/3 of the way down from the knot end
Tie the (blue) wool and pull it tight to create that tassel bulge.
Wrap the (blue) wool around the pink tassel several more times to really highlight that bulge. Tie it securely and cut the ends.
And there you have it.....simple!
