Pin It using my red pin button when you roll over the photo! |
Step 1: Gather supplies
- Fabric - 2 yards makes 8 tassels (note: make sure your fabric is double sided)
- Scissors or rotary cutter
- Cutting mat, yard stick, or other measuring device (cutting mat makes it easier)
- Iron
- Hot glue gun
Step 2
Cut your fabric into 18x24 inches. You can make these whatever size you want but at this size it's easy to cut 4 from one yard of fabric. The photos below show the fabric folded.
Step 3
Iron your rectangles in half. You can totally skip this step but it made it easier for me when it came to cutting and rolling my tassels. Place you shorter ends of the rectangle together and iron a seam in the middle. This takes about 5 extra minutes but totally worth it.
Step 4
Place one piece folded on a flat surface (or cutting mat) with the open end facing you. This is where the rotary cutter would come in handy but totally doable with scissors. Starting at the bottom cut your strands about an inch apart but stop about 2 inches from the top (the fold). Cut one strand through to use later.
Step 5
Open your fabric. Starting at the edge closest to you, roll tightly in tangling the strands as you go. This is where the ironed crease will help you keep it even.
Step 6
Fold tassel in half. Put one dot of glue about an inch to inch and half from the top fold and wrap the strand you cut off completely tightly around the tassel and secure with another dot of glue.or you can just tie it tightly. Left (below) is glued and Right is tied.
Step 7
Repeat for multiple tassels and string on a string of your choice. You see them strung on rope and fabric rope in this post. (If using fabric rope - remember to tie off your end if not using a whole spool before you cut, because it will unravel very easily!) and DONE!Now go hang that happy little banner in your nursery, on your mantel, above your bed, or on the patio! It will definitely bring a little something extra to your room!
